I tested the preview render with hardware acceleration on and off and saw no difference in the times. 

Ever since I tried to use 'wire frame only' on my scene, I can't open the scene by clicking on its icon in My Documents without crashing Vue. I can still open the scene by clicking on the Vue launch and opening the file within the program. 

This happens with hardware acceleration on or off. 

Vue seems to recognize my card. I guess someone tested it once.
