Apr 25, 2010 when you allocate a buffer with glbufferdata, you supply a usage hint that indicates how often you intend to access and change the data in the buffer, and opengl decides the best place in cpu or gpu memory to store its data based on that hint. The hint does not actually constrain how the buffer gets used, but using buffers against their hinted.
