Hi, i started a project under Visual Studio.NET and included all neccessary Headers for OpenGL. All went well, but the Problem is i´ve got a Geforce and VS does not use the NVIDIA OpenGl drivers, Vendor name is just Microsoft instead of NVIDIA Corp.. This results in very slow speed, the card is hardly used. I downloaded a tutoria for display list and here VS uses NVIDIA and the speed is very fast. What can i da about it??

Check your setup. You''re probably requesting features that your card doesn''t support, and GL falls back to software.

---visit #directxdev on afternet <- not just for directx, despite the name

Do you mean extension, i don´t use them right now, in fact they are not available because auf the software mode. I try glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS),which gives me just 2, should be something > 20.

no he means you request a pixelformat wich is only supported by the softwarefallback.. for example you''re requesting accumulationbuffers or dunnowhat.. check your setup there..

If that's not the help you're after then you're going to have to explain the problem better than what you have. - joanusdmentia
