Hi All,
Are there any ISVs/Third Parties providing an ARM optimized D3DM
driver?

Best Regards

I don't know if such a driver exist, but I think that a generic ARM
driver won't increase performances too much (unless the generic
implementation is written very badly).
I think that a more processor-specific implementation could leverage
all the features of a specific processor (ex: MMX for the Xscale,
floating point on other CPUs) or of the display controller (even if
does not support 3D it may have some 2D acceleration or some texture
handling functions or even simply an internal memory that may be used
for caching...) and lead to better performances (but stil far from the
ones granted by a hardware based solution).

Hi Valter,
Performance is not an issue for us. It is just to pass the test
requirements set by Microsoft.

Best Regards/
