Video display with a high raster-display rate... 1

[XPPROGRAMMER]

Hello everyone,

can you please tell me how can I tell if a video-card
has a very high Raster-Display support ?? For example,
would allow my own program to paint graphic charts on
the screen such as (pie, rectangles and lines).

thanks for the help.

Every graphics card nowadays does have a whole set of 2D drawing tools (raster-ops). The performance is so good in all of them that it has not become a differentiator between poroducts anymore so nobody talks about it in the reviews.
If your application requires using the 2D drawing tools, do not attempt to drive yourself the hardware, but use instead the functions that are included in the general graphics libraries like DirectX. Because the chip drivers do include patches to make the generic calls work transparently. And believe me there may be many bugs or hardware limitations in the hardware.
