11.3 OpenGL Setup
OpenGL Setup is a Windows application that allows to switch the OpenGL driver used by VEGA ZZ without losing the system settings. In other words, this software applies the changes to VEGA ZZ only. To start it, you must select the VEGA ZZ -> Utilities -> OpenGL Setup item in the Start menu.
In this window, you can choose the OpenGL driver that will
be used by VEGA ZZ. To change the settings, you must click the Apply
button. Please remember that to change the driver, VEGA ZZ must be closed.
The included drivers have got different capabilities as shown in the following
table:
Driver | Description |
Hardware |
This is the fastest driver available. It uses the full hardware acceleration (if available) implemented in the graphic card. It's activated by default when you install VEGA ZZ. |
Microsoft OpenGL |
This is the most compatible driver with moderate hardware acceleration. Use it if you have compatibility (crashes) problems with the hardware driver. Some cheap graphics cards require it because the factory OpenGL driver doesn't support all functions used by VEGA ZZ. |
Mesa 3D |
If you need the OpenGL 1.5 support and your graphic card doesn't have it, you could install this full-software driver. No hardware acceleration is provided by it. |
WireGL |
If you need an amazing rendering speed, this driver is for you ! It distributes the OpenGL rendering to a cluster of PC interconnected with an high performance network. The resulted output is tiled to the display of each workstation connected to the network. For more information about the WireGL installation, click here. |
