sgi opengl faster than the hd opengl?!?!
Author
how can a software api which is the cosmogl of sgi is faster than
the hardware opengl ?i have tried a demo done with cosmogl and it is extremely fast!too fast!
it is probably very very optimized ?mah
SGI''s software implementation is faster than Microsoft''s software implementation. But there''s no way in hell that it''d be quicker than a GeForce. Maybe the SGI driver isn''t delegating to hardware mode properly...

If you have 3D card with OpenGL support, SGI''s software opengl.dll will just forward function calls to hardware implementation.

so it''s better use sgi ?
if it is optimized for non 3d card and it switch to hardware opengl if there is,i think it''s better?
then why none use it?
