OpenGL and DirectX have the same functionality, and I don't know any popular 3D-cards without OpenGL drivers. And, some cards, like very popular NVidia, have much better OpenGL then Direct3D. > But after all, a game is a game, and if it is well designed (hope it is :) > then you always can modify your low level calls to switch from D3D to OGL > and vice-versa. Sure. And I noticed, that many games works much better with OpenGL then with D3D (on my NVidia card). ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
