What is hardware and software mode in Kahootz 2.0?
The Kahootz 2.0 renderer is able to use built-in functions in the computer’s video card to increase its speed and the quality of the image it produces. Kahootz’ recommended requirement is for a “second generation” 3D graphics card. When the renderer is directly controlling the video card it is in “hardware mode”. If, for some reason, the renderer is unable to access the video card’s hardware it will continue to render the scene in “software mode”, using only the computer’s central processor. Rendering in software mode is slower and produces poorer quality images making the 3D Worlds in Kahootz look like large blocks of pixels.
