Note  This content applies to the Windows Logo Kit (WLK). For the latest information using the new Windows Hardware Certification Kit (HCK), see Windows HCK User's Guide on the Windows Hardware Dev Center.

Type: Automated Test

Overview

The Driver Scenario test verifies that the display adapter can meet the minimum Microsoft Direct 3D requirements. For the full list of minimum requirements, refer to the latest Windows Logo Program (WLP) documentation.

Details

The test composes a Direct 3D scene that includes all of the relevant elements from the WLP minimum requirements, such as Gouraud shading, basic alpha blending, Bi-Linear filtering, specific texture formats, and so on. The test then renders the scene with the display adapter and with the reference rasterizer.

The test does a pixel comparison of the rendered images and determines if the test passed or failed based on that comparison (allowing the standard 15% difference).
