Running in OpenGL
Running in OpenGL
(OP)
What is the best set up for optimizing a system to run in OpenGL? I am running SW2007 in OpenGL because the OptisWorks raytrace software add in requires it. Aside from the Realview graphics not being available I'm not sure of what I might be missing. I've searched for previous threads about OpenGL but most are referencing video card performance issues.

NVIDIA Quadro FX500 w/ driver version 6.14.10.7756
2.00 GB RAM, dual processor

The nVidia Quadro cards are OpenGL cards. All versions of SW are meant to be run in OpenGL.

Using that switch is the same as using XP's software OpenGL. In other words you are disabling the Hardware Accelerated OpenGL capabilities of the video card. This will result in slower performance.
The intended use of that switch is to help determine whether the video card being used was OpenGL compatible.

I would suggest using the /3GB switch and if you can spring for extra RAM that would be great, but even if you can't the /3GB switch usually helps. Also, only activate an add-in when you need it, otherwise they will just hog valuable system resources.
