what's better

 

[GEO]

geforce --> Opengl

ati, matrox --> d3d

other chips i don't know... i have only worked with these, and this is what my personal experience says

 

[Orpheus]

i have a Geforce 2 GTS and i preffer D3D im some games
they look faster than OpenGl but the graphics look better with OpenGl

FYI, newer ATi Chips perform quite well with OpenGL..

I have a GeForce2 Ultra, and OpenGL is much faster for me. And yes, it does look better.

i play UT in my pc and with d3d that seems faster than with OpenGl , that's my opinom...what version of detonator r u using?

I'm using the Detonator 12.40 drivers. And you really should try to play Unreal Tournament using OpenGL, it looks much better (OpenGL let's you use S3TC textures). See for yourself, I took this screenshot.

I agree I have a Geforce DDR and petes d3d plugn in runs much better and looks a lot better then his OGL plugn with the same setting on.

but I think FSAA is only for OGL but that really slows down the games at lest with my Geforce DDR is not really ment for this

 

[bobotns]

no way!

I have an ATi card and I become better performance with the OpenGL plug-in of Pete (+10%).

Personally OpenGl works best for me, I'm a CAD user, and OpenGL was ment for CAD, and so for games.

But most of my games support best for D3d (which I hate so much) - Blade of Darkness, Colin McRae 2, Undying, Black and White, etc etc...

Hope UNREAL 2 and DOOM 3 uses openGl too!
