The main difference is that old GPU's weren't programmable, they had a fixed set of functions. Modern GPU's are much more flexible and can be programmed. They still have a number of fixed functions, but also have parts that leave a programmer free to fill in functions as he sees fit.

To make sure Vue works with older GPU's as well, E-on offers different stages of Open GL, but you really should use open Gl 2.1(shader 4), especially with that power house like yours :)

The real shame is though that Vue still uses hopelessly outdated OpenGL version. OpenGl 2.1 is from 2006. Our previews could be so much better if E-On would finally update the OpenGL to 4. With that, you could perhaps even be doing GPU rendering.

Another problem is that after all these years, Vue's OpenGl is still buggy and faulty. Using the same OpenGL for 8 years now that still is very unstable after all these years is just not so good, is it? Also Vue can only use 1Gb of your card.... so if you have a lot of stuff in your scene, Vue may still crash, no matter how good your card is, due to Vue's limitations.

So you may have everything you need, but Vue will still crash. My graphics card can handle OpenGL 2.1 Shader 4 with easy, but Vue will not let me, it crashes all the time and I know this is a problem with more graphics cards.

But I don't think you will have a problem and let's hope that the next version of Vue will have OpenGL 4.x so you can harnass all the power your Titan offers. I just hope you didn't purchase that one especially for Vue ;)
