I have download opencascade 6.8.0. and I use vs2008 to compile it.All is OK. And My display card is NVIDIA GT210,it supoort Opengl 3.1.
Then I use these codes to enable ray trace and shadow:
...
myAISContext->CurrentViewer()->InitActiveViews();
Handle(V3d_View) aView = myAISContext->CurrentViewer()->ActiveView();
Graphic3d_RenderingParams& rayp = aView->ChangeRenderingParams();
rayp.Method = Graphic3d_RM_RAYTRACING;
rayp.IsShadowEnabled = Standard_True;
rayp.IsReflectionEnabled = Standard_True;
myAISContext->UpdateCurrentViewer();
...
But i find nothing different after enable ray trace.
Last,I use "Viewer3d" sample in OCC6.8.0 install package.But the result also is nothing different.
Why can't eanble ray trace & shadows ? or Perhaps a bug of OCC 6.8.0 ?

Dear wawa,
Ray-Tracing functionality in OCCT currently requires:
- OpenGL 4.0+ or OpenGL 3.1+ with GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object_rgb32 extension
- GL_ARB_bindless_texture extension for textures support
It seems NVIDIA does not provide the driver with minimum requirements for GeForce 310 - the appropriate error should appear in Draw Harness console (if not - this is a bug).
This functionality requires more recent hardware.
Notice that earlier prototypes (before OCCT 6.8.0) might work on this card, but hardware performance would be likely insufficient for smooth rendering.
Best regards
