does opengl use hardware rendering automatically??
Yes.
if so, why is it so slow on my 64mb geforce 2 vid card?? or does my card not support opengl??
Your card supports OpenGL (pretty well, in fact, I''m using a Geforce 2 now, and my OpenGL code works fine). Are you using an extension that isn''t supported? Have you installed semi-new drivers?

Which OS do you use?

Try turning the VSYNC option on your card off. VSYNC can really "slow" programs down (at least, thats the way it appears, its actually just limiting your program to about 60-80fps, depending your monitor''s vertical refresh rate).

Also watch fillrate.... fillrate kills about every card.. =).. so if you''re drawing 100 Triangles behind eachother that and each of those fills up the screen you have a _little_ overdraw problem..

disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless
brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder
