Your thoughts?
I ran Unreal Tournament on both modes and find that OpenGL provides me with better overall image quality. Performance took a small hit compared to D3D though.

The older your Nvidia card the better OpenGL is compared to D3d. If you have a newer card the difference will be less noticable.

...OpenGL.

Direct 3D used to be more compatible...but with the newer cards...now OpenGL is more compatible AND faster.
