Geometry acceleration accepts geometry primitives, for example, triangles; projects them into 3D camera space; clips, illuminates, projects again to 2D screen space; and rasterizes the result. Using this feature is advised, as it significantly improves performance for ArcGIS 3D Analyst applications.
