everything else works

Your graphics settings are probably set to antialias.

Have a look at the control panel and ensure that for AC3D, that setting is off.

Let us know how you get on.

If it's slow with select-though set to on, it sounds like AC3D is not using your card at all. Check the first few lines that are displayed in the startup window. That reports the graphics card and OpenGL version that it finds. You can make that window stay up by setting File->settings->advanced->show-windows-console.

What card is it? AMD or nVidia?

Great - that shows the problem exactly. AC3D is not detecting your graphics card/library and is defaulting to the (slow and buggy) motherboard graphics.

You need to look at your nVidia control panel and check the settings to make sure AC3D gets accelerated.

There may be some defaults settings that need changing, or you can look at "Manage 3D settings" where you can hopefully specify a program and tell it that it should run accelerated OpenGL.
