Hi,Will using open GL in android application reduce the system efficiency??

Question

Please correct me if i am wrong about this concept I have heard that a processor without graphics card will take a lots of time to produce a graphical entity,than one with graphics card. So is there anything like that if we use Open Gl in android application?? will my application become slow ?? Please do reply me.. SRUTHI

Answer 1

Without a GPU/hardware accelerated video, the graphics would be calculated/drawn/rendered with the CPU (software rendering). This will definitely be slower than having a GPU, as GPUs are more suited at processing/displaying graphics like with OpenGL.
