Im reading about adapters and devices. My book says listing display modes is not as straightforward as listing adapters. A check needs to be made to see if every mode returned by the adapter is supported by the device?

Can someone explainplease?

I have an NVIDIA MAP17-232 listed as an adapter and under rendering devices, Reference Rasterizer and Hardware Acceleration.

Im confused a bit?

So my video card is a NVIDIA with 3D capability correct?

So if my video card can say display 16million colours @ 1024x768 it does not necessarily mean it can do the same in 3D?

Have I understood this correctly?

Thnx
