mrjack VIP Member Sep 15, 2005 #5 Well then it depends mostly on what graphics card you have. nVidia is better than ATi when it comes to OpenGL. I would just use DX.

G GhostEye New Member Sep 15, 2005 #6 hmm i turned direct x on instead of open gl and alot more effects have been enabled for live view port... hmm is open gl shitty or something? Or is 3ds max just optimized for direct x

mrjack VIP Member Sep 16, 2005 #7 DX can do alot more things and is the most popular of the two when it comes to graphics.
