I dont want any replies, i just want to complain about buying a game at the weekend (Dune) and thanks to NVIDIA the opengl drivers (with my voodoo3) arent compatible with the DX requirements since NVIDIA are screening voodoo out. So now im gonna have to go get a geforce3 ti500 64mb. i guess its a conspiracy against me as always. Ah well i guess thats all i wanted to say...so....... FREE LORD ARCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we dont want him writing mein kampf now do we? or another string of shitty best-sellers.

Are you aware that you arent supposed to get nVidia OGL drivers for a non-nVidia chipset?

Get the Voodoo OGL drivers.

Aha... OpenGL has more capitol letters than DirectX, and is therefore superior in every way... unless you like lowercase.

Ahhh...but DirectX has an X at the end, and everyone knows that things ending with X are automatically the best

Damn all of you. When will you finally learn?! OpenGL and DirectX cannot compared to any capacity. For the final time, OpenGL is a single API for platform-independent 3D graphics, and DirectX is a collection of APIs for many different things on Windows.
