Well, you're both right and wrong, depending on what OS you have in mind. In Mac OS for example, the actual drawing is hardware accelerated, but the commands to the OS to do this drawing happen on the main card. > What I'm doing is very simple, just drawing some images to a canvas > and I just want to do a comparison of using graphic card and not using one. I really don't think you have much choice over it; the graphic card will be used as much as the OS supports it. However, you can go through a completely different part of the OS by using an Rb3DSpace (which currently renders through OpenGL; Macs have good support for hardware rendering of OpenGL, as do some Windows and Linux machines depending on your hardware and drivers).
