Gets or sets the vertex processing mode.

Namespace: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics
Assembly: Microsoft.Xna.Framework (in microsoft.xna.framework.dll)

Syntax

public bool SoftwareVertexProcessing { get; set; }

true for software vertex processing; false for hardware vertex processing.

The following restrictions apply when changing modes.

If a GraphicsDevice is created with CreateOptions.SoftwareVertexProcessing, vertex processing is done in software and cannot be changed.
If a GraphicsDevice is created with CreateOptions.HardwareVertexProcessing, vertex processing is done in hardware and cannot be changed.
If a GraphicsDevice is created with CreateOptions.MixedVertexProcessing, vertex processing is done in hardware by default, and can be switched between software and hardware. An application can create a mixed-mode GraphicsDevice to use both software and hardware vertex processing. Use this property to switch between the two vertex processing modes.
