WPF - Max window size for hardware acceleration?



Hello,
I am facing performance issues when my WPF application is use on a
dual-screen monitor. "Perforator" tool show that WPF rendering switch from
hardware to software when the height (or the width) of the window is greater
than 2000 px.

Is it a limitation of WPF, DirectX or my graphics card?
.
