I have a lowly GeForce 1 (first rev) card and I can confirm that it handles Mil figures quite well (MUCH faster than Poser software rendering). I know this from an OpenGL application that I wrote to play with .obj files. So yes, it's possible and desireable - it's just a matter of programming time (OpenGL is actually relatively trivial to implement, extremely trivial, compared to the existing software renderer, for example). OpenGL also handles the triangulation for you (you can pass in 100-sided polygons if you want, the lower-level parts of the driver convert it to triangles for today's hardware). ...but since there's been no mention of hardware accelerated preview modes, I assume that CL hasn't commited the resources to do the conversion yet (it would be a major line-item on thier spec sheets if it was there).
