Of course it does..... how do you think the information gets to the
GeForce....

You need to feed it.... forget all the _crap_ about 'frees up cpu time'.
Your cpu is feeding the GeForce, and _currently_ no CPU can feed it fast
enough to reach the Transform limits of the GeForce so it just gets faster &
faster.

No, its not a con. The GeForce does the T&L much faster than _any_ CPU.

Yes. There are many ways around the CPU, but that just speeds up the
transfer and leaves the CPU idle....

Hehe.
