Rhino for Mac Graphic Display performance

Comparing performance with Windows running in Parallels is not a valid comparison. The OpenGL driver in Parallels is inadequate for Rhino, and Rhino turns off a lot of its advanced OpenGL drawing features when it sees a deficient OpenGL driver.

If you want to compare with Rhino for Windows, you would need to boot into Windows and run Rhino there for a valid comparison.

If you still see a significant difference, please

  1. Post your Rhino for Mac info from About Rhinoceros > More Info…

  2. Post a screen shot of your OpenGL settings from Windows Rhino.

  3. Post the model you are using for your tests.
