Recommendation for high performance graphics cards

Post by chartist » Sun Feb 09, 2014 12:35 am

Would the addition of a high performance graphics card improve the size and or performance of surfaces that lightning chart could handle? If yes, can you recommend any in particular that would workbest with Lightning Chart Ultimate?

We'd recommend modern AMD or NVidia cards. Like AMD Radeon HD 6700-6900 or 7700-7900.
AMD supports "Fast vertex format" feature which practically doubles 2D rendering performance in WinForms. In WPF, Fast Vertex Format feature doesn't improve performance that much. NVidia and Intel don't support it.

This is a good resource for GPU performance comparison.http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
