I have a VisionTek GeForce 3 card, is there an advantage to running DirectX 8 vs. OpenGL under Win XP Pro? thanks
fwiu opengl will be the faster of the two for your card. D3d performs better on 3dfx cards dave henrie "Don Awalt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I have a VisionTek GeForce 3 card, is there an advantage to running > DirectX 8 vs. OpenGL under Win XP Pro? > > thanks
You're right, I got about 50 fps in DirectX, about 60 fps in OpenGL. Thanks! "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:K_yj7.20634$[email hidden]...
