    DirectX > OpenGL under windows. D3D > OpenGL under Linux and OpenGL is best for everything else.

    Well yeah because you're arguing about it.

    Ahahahaha.
    No.

    Even on windows OpenGL has faster draw calls which gives a nice bonus in performance.
    Plus the fact it's had all the "gadgets" DirectX 10 and 11 are getting for some fair time now.

    But whatever, I just hate how Microsoft has monopolised the market like normal over these things and it bugs the fuck out of you if took my college course.

    No one gives a fuck about OpenGL on windows to put it bluntly, the only reason i'd see OpenGL being faster is because it's lacking a lot of stuff DirectX currently has.

    DirectX11 is only just coming up to the league of what OpenGL has, OpenGL has had around a quarter of what DirectX has now for a few years, where have you been spyko?

    Under a fucking rock or something?

    But whatever, no one is going to listen anyway.

    It's an open source graphics library.
    In technological terms, its been way ahead of DX for a while now.

    [strike]I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that OpenGL generally isn't available system-wide (or I'm pretty sure it isn't anyway), whereas DirectX uses the same set of libraries, and only one game needs to update them to affect all games (usually for the better). So if publishers wanted to update their OpenGL library (e.g. if there was ever a large performance update or whatever) it would mean releasing a patch.[/strike]

    EDIT: Nvm, found c:/windows/system32/opengl32.dll D:

    Except EA did a crap port job of it.

    The port is shitty, but we are talking on how a OpenGL - Rendered TF2 would look like, no?
