OpenGL ICD link: Message 8579014 OpenGL V2 is faster than TNT2 Peter S

Did I interpret the benchmarks correctly (sorry no link...think it was VE)? Looked like the V2 running the full ICD was 10+fps better than the miniGL? Thats the way I'm interpreting it. This would also make sense of the AGN rumors that the V3 2000 is faster than SLI. (V3 with beta OpenGL drivers versus current V2 drivers). I do have a question though, which should run faster an openGL implementation of a game, or a glide version? I'm trying to see the future leverage of glide or even if this is an issue with the new drivers. To further my confusion, why would a mini-gl (I assumed a limited openGL feature set ported for certain games) be SLOWER than a full openGL ICD that provides full openGL compliance? Jeff P.
