In Adobe Reader 10.x there is an option under Edit>Preferences…>3D & Multimedia to set the renderer to use the software renderer instead of Directx. I've read that using the software setting will garner better performance. I'm looking for a way to set this via registry or gpo – domain wide. Does anyone know how to do this?

The per-user value is stored under
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\3D
as aREG_SZ
value namedt3DPreferredRenderer
. Setting the data toSoftware
will select the Software Renderer.You can apply this setting using Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions very easily. Should you need a different method (ADM, ADMX) update your question with more information.
