this sounds interesting, since using gem with my
nvidia-geforce-hw-accelerated openGl (but of course not "native" in sgi
ways) is very much fun too.
where do you get real improvements ? moving/texturing/blabla a LOT of
objects costs me almost no cpu-time - at least with my geforce256; i
made not so good experiences with the newer geforce2. maybe the
antialiasing could be done a little better, but that's the only thing i
can think of (but then, i am not that grafix-expert)
