What is Open Gl, software, and D3D? I seen it in the Video tab in the options menu in sven. Also, why is it important to use Open GL?
open gl and d3d are both diferent source codes used to render stuff
d3d is direct x 3d
direct is is more of an emulater though to make games run
when the first windows operating syste came our, or if it was windows 95, cant remeber
hp released computers with a lion king game i believe
the game fucked and didn't work right
so microsoft created direct x
just so know know
open gl renders pretty much every pixel of texture as a circle as opposed to the regualar square
it looks better
if you'v played quake 2
in the "system" video setting
it looked like crap
but in "open gl" it looked dramaticly better and you noticed circles that were once squares
