WPF 3D Performance in WinFX Beta 2

I have been working on a project that makes use of the WPF's 3D capabilities,
and I noticed that the rendering performance dropped considerably when I
upgraded to Beta 2. Is this because multisampling (AA) is now enabled by
default? If so, is there a way to disable this programmatically?

Cheers,
Mike

Re: WPF 3D Performance in WinFX Beta 2

It's enabled on Vista by default. There isn't yet a programmatic way to
disable it but you can disable it with an unsupported try-at-your-own-risk
regkey. This should do it:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics]
"MaxMultisampleType"=dword:00000000
