I've done some searching on the net for an instancing extension and two seem to exist: An older NVidia specific extension "NVX_instanced_arrays" http://http.download.nvidia.com/developer/presentations/2006/gdc/2006-GDC_OpenGL_NV_exts.pdf
and a newer "ext_draw_instanced" which seems to be more "official". I've however read several times that it apparently only works on 8800 series cards or newer. http://developer.download.nvidia.com/opengl/specs/GL_EXT_draw_instanced.txt Possibly nothing new to you folks but maybe it saves some time on research. -- Markus
