The article mentions improvements to OpenGL visualization, but it looks the same as AC12 to me. Is there a different dialog for OpenGL settings I am missing somewhere?

From what I've tested it's about clear and sharp edges of elements in the OpenGL window (still image only). I don't know about other changes in OpenGL performance

Don't you see it??? I didn't know about it when I first tested AC13 but I noticed in about 1 sec that it was much better than before!

I can't see it yet because AUS won't get AC13 until after mid October.

The edges are really much nicer, it is pretty visible.
