Note: .NET Core applies to versions 5.X and later, and .NET Framework applies to versions 4.X and earlier.
PLEXOS uses advanced charting technology to render charting components, using low-level DirectX GPU acceleration, instead of slower WPF Graphics APIs. Therefore client machines have a basic graphic card that supports DirectX 9.0c (shader model 3) level graphics or newer.
Due to the use of DirectX, hardware rendering can be slow compared to running on a local machine. Windows XP operating system actually disallows access to the DirectX hardware, preventing the use of these charts.
