If there was no 3D hardware support for something, then either the program did not run at all, or there were severe visual artifacts on screen.

But on the other hand, the stock driver available in Windows 2000 for S3 Virge DX cards was actually a little bit *better* imho than the official downloadable W9x driver for 16-bit rendering (565 instead of 5551). For example on one hand, a Matrox Millenium card could become kind of useless on Windows 2000. The reason was because of poor (or not) driver support on such OSes. Moreover, such graphic cards could get crippled *or not* when one tried to later use them on NT-based OSes like Windows 2000. Likewise, hardware support for FourCC codes was very limited, too (for example, no built-in support for YV12) For example, an S3 Virge DX had iirc no Stretching and Effects caps at all, and had only a limited number of Color Key caps (=> limited hardware overlay support). The fact was simply that back then, not all of the 2D accelerator functions of the time were available in all graphic cards / chipsets. Any kind of acceleration support on a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5430 from 1994 was very limited, even by the mid 1990s standards (but again, it was a very old graphics card, to begin with)Ĭirrus Logic - Graphics history - Wikipediaįull DirectDraw hardware acceleration did not require any special graphic accelerators it required specific ones.

The third implementation, llvmpipe, and probably the one that may interest you the most, is a high-speed software implementation that uses multithreading and JIT compilation to speed up simulation with native- and SIMD instructions.Click to expand.Not too old graphic accelerators / cards, I would say. Since I know very little of swrast (the original Mesa project software rasterizer) and softpipe (a reference driver) I'll refrain from going into these. In addition to those mentioned above, Mesa 3D ( which supports up to OpenGL 3.1) feature three software implementations: Never having used ANGLE, I cannot offer a verdict. Their development notes also mention that an OpenGL ES 3.0 solution is in the works. Note that the standard Windows OpenGL software rasterizer (OpenGL 1.0 or 1.1) is also included in Windows Vista and above.Īdditionally, there's the ANGLE project which accelerates WebGL and OpenGL ES 2.0 by translating OpenGL ES 2.0 invocations to DirectX 9 and 11. I've never used this emulator myself, and was quite surprised to hear about it, but it may be of interest to someone having to run one of these old frameworks in a Windows environment. This is different from Qt 5, where the default was OpenGL, either directly, or through ANGLE, an OpenGL to Direct3D translator. As of Qt 6, the default for Qt Quick on Windows is Direct3D 11. Additionally, this should mean that Windows Vista (and up?) runtimes may accelerate most parts of OpenGL SC. For Qt Quick to work, a graphics driver that provides Direct 3D 11.1, Vulkan 1.0, or OpenGL 2.1 or higher is required. I'm unsure as to what extent the default Windows OpenGL software implementation covers the OpenGL ES 1.x frameworks through its OpenGL 1.0 or 1.1 support.įurthermore, in Windows Vista, Microsoft included an emulation layer which may translate OpenGL into Direct3D thus supporting up-to OpenGL 1.4. If your desired OpenGL version is covered by 1.0 or 1.1 (however unlikely), the solution should be sufficient. The Microsoft software rasterizer supports either OpenGL 1.0 or 1.1, depending on your platform, but will not accelerate anything newer than that. If you haven't installed any other software rasterizer, this ought to be your default implementation.

Windows (since Windows NT 3.5) actually includes an OpenGL software implementation to begin with.

Depending on your needs, there are some alternatives available. That depends on what OpenGL version you wish to accelerate.
