All video cards have acceleration, and many of them (including nVidias, which I use) have hardware support for nearly the entire GDI and directdraw. If you had an unaccelerated card, you'd certainly know about it! It would draw so slowly it'd be a nightmare. It's like your comparison of NTFS and FAT - why do so many people think that the only acceleration comes from 3D hardware? Even the famed Matrox cards are full of hardware acceleration circuitry!
