OpenGL® is a low-level API that combines the ability to render top quality 3D graphic images with leading PC performance. These capabilities enable mainstream users to experience the incredible 3D worlds available through Cosmo Player and other applications, which are layered upon OpenGL. Silicon Graphics' OpenGL library for Windows is a high-performance, fully compliant implementation that runs on Intel PCs. It allows a PC with no dedicated 3D graphics hardware to execute OpenGL applications at exceptional levels of performance and complements accelerated OpenGL products available from numerous 3D graphics hardware vendors. This version of Silicon Graphics' OpenGL library for Windows relies on Microsoft's OpenGL library for hardware acceleration. If an OpenGL driver is available on the system then the library will automatically call Microsoft's library so that the driver will be invoked during rendering. The next version of Silicon Graphics' library will be able to load OpenGL drivers directly.
