hardware acceleration
September 18, 2000 03:03 PM
It is very slow to run an opengl application on my machine (Micron Pentium II 466, NT 4.0). I found out that it is using generic opengl driver instead of ICD. Does that mean my current video card is not good enough? How do I know what video card I currently have and what video card I should buy in order to have opengl hardware acceleration?
Thanks in advance.

char *str;
str = (char *) glGetString(GL_VENDOR);
str = (char *) glGetString(GL_RENDERER);
str = (char *) glGetString(GL_VERSION);
whoops should mention thisll only say what you're using for rendering. to find out what card youve got look in the case or look under windows->dsiplaysettings. IIRC linux is xf86setup
