I have 10,057 triangles and a GeForce that if I display in my draw function using GL_TRIANGLES, I get a frame rate of 20/21 FPS. Tried using GL_TRIANGLE_STRIPS/FANS, same result. Bundled them up in a display list and guess what Guys, you ready for this!! 2080 FPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now go use those trianglestrips or fans with a vertex array and the range & fence extensions (GeForce > only) for even MORE SPEED!!

btw. Display lists are slower than the range & fence extensions, yumm!

u sure about the framerate 2000+ * 10000+ is faster than the theoritical speed of the card. check your timing code again

What are the range and fence extensions? Where can I get info on them? Google didn''t find anything related to the topic.

Click here for the demo of a vertexarray with range & fence extensions.
(Watch in line mode: you can't see lines because there are too many triangles! )

This is a benchmark program that makes use of the extensions (need to press a key to enable displist,va,etc. look under helpmenu).

NOTE: You'll need a GeForce or better for this extensions.
