    How to check a graphics driver for WDDM support?


    Does anyone know how to find out if a graphics card driver is WDDM certified? Because I'm not sure if the latest one for my NVIDIA card is or not, as a driver not being compatible with WDDM can cause issues with transparency and other Aero effects as I've read.
