When I run the latest version of Houdini (12.5.393) on my laptop it says it's running in Software opengl mode and it's therefore dog slow.
My graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce GT 640M, I've never had any trouble running Houdini with this type of card before, any settings I can tweak to make it work, driver is up to date version 314.22
Also, Houdini version Houdini 12.5.316.22 does not show the same warning, so has something changed very recently?

If it's Windows, try setting the environment variable HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE to 0.
We made a change for AMD's version of Optimus (I forget the marketing term for it). Try running the App here:
http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&p=130805#130805 [sidefx.com]
and post the results. That way we can fine-tune the heuristic that detects Intel graphics. Thanks!
