Default Re: OpenGL VS. DIRECTX

d00d get ur facts right

OpenGL has got nothin 2 do wit d Open Source movement

d OPEN stands 4 OPEN STANDARDS

OpenGL Licensing Programs

as 4 choosing betn DX and OpenGL, DX has been optimised 4 performance by MS, so any game developed with DX API will perform well on Win platform whereas in OpenGL u willl have to port ur codes 2 make it win-compatible, thereby increasin devp time [read more time to market] , devp cost[read higher cost of titles, reduced margins of operations et all]

so if a devp know dat it will make only win-based appz DX is logical choice

EDIT
dont c d point of d thread being in dis section
shud b in chit-chat or some equally inane section

REPORTIN
