  1. In addition... on OpenGL vs. Direct3D? · · Score: 1
    3Dfx doesn't even fully support OpenGL - they use a proprietary version called MiniGL.

    (but you knew that)

  2. OpenGL is better. on OpenGL vs. Direct3D? · · Score: 1
    I can't claim to know the ins and outs of either API, but as an avid gamer, I know that I prefer OpenGL over D3D by leaps and bounds. In my experience (at least on my RivaTNT card), GL yields a marginal to sometimes phenomenal increase in framerate over D3D. In addition, the image quality is almost always noticeably superior.

    I guess I was always under the impression that OGL was a superior API, but that Direct3D was simply easier to program for and better supported. *shrug*
