No, they both involve software, writing to a framebuffer. (By software, I mean code - software/firmware/etc).

A crappy 'hardware' accelerated GPU can be slower than a 'software' framebuffer write.

My point was that saying "It's hardware accelerated" is meaningless marketing speak.

Indeed, Apple's Mac OS X QuartzGL framework (GPU accelerated drawing/rasterisation) is slower than the equivalent CPU-based Quartz framework in may cases.

You're being shafted by downvoters who don't really know what they're talking about.
