What is WARP?

WARP (Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform) is a component of the DirectX graphics technology that was introduced by the Direct3D 11 runtime. The Direct3D 11 runtime is installed on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Vista with the [KB971644] update. Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and Windows RT include the Direct3D 11.1 runtime, which has an updated version of WARP.

In Windows 10, WARP has been updated to support Direct3D 12 at feature level 12_1; under Direct3D 12, WARP also replaces the Reference rasterizer.

To force an application to use WARP without disabling Display Driver, install the Direct X SDK. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812, go to C:/windows/system32, run dxcpl.exe, in "Scope" click "Edit list", add the path to the application.
