Rendering speed

ankan666 · 2000-06-21T09:53:47

I''m loading a model with about 2500 triangles and render them with OpenGL. With hardware acceleration, on a celeron 550 Mhz and a Matrox G400 card I get around 5 fps... How is this possible? Why is it so slow? In your experience, how many polys (on a system like mine) can OpenGL handle before things start to get slow (below 20 fps)? // Ankan

You said you are sure that you''re not using software mode ? Check it again, and if you are still sure.. well.. i can only think of an unsupported pixel mode when you''re trying to initialize OpenGL. Are you sure the color depth / z buffer depth / stencil bits / etc.. you are requesting are supported in hardware ?
