Guest Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Does anyone know how i can run GTA3 in Direct 3d instead of using OpenGL??? My video card works a lot better in Direct 3d. Thanx
Guest Posted June 18, 2003 Posted June 18, 2003 Ummmm...no... it does run in OpenGL or else Fraps would not work. I tried Fraps on UT with D3D and it does not work
Guest Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Its Direct3D for sure. If you hexedit gta3.exe you will find strings like Couldn't DirectDrawCreateEx Direct3DCreate8.d3d8.dll Couldn't LoadLibrary D3D8.DLL You wont find this strings in an OpenGL application. Now it should be clear it´s in Direct3D
Iggy Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 can someone explain insactly what opengl and this stuff is?
Guest Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 try http://www.opengl.org/users/about/index.html to find out what openGL is
petebog Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Open GLand D3D are dead it now T&L Oh dear... Transform & Lighting is a capability of Direct3D, not a separate graphics system.
dark_vegeta2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Opengl is dead! i realy liked it but we live now in 2003.
Guest Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 OpenGL is dead? Nah, i don't think so. The OpenGL team is right now developing OpenGL 2.0 which Doom 3 will support. And just like the Quake 3 engine, the doom 3 engine will probably be licensed to be used in alot of games, which means they will support OpenGL. So, no, OpenGL is not dead, but the current version is starting to be outdated compared to Microsofts DirectX which has been updated more frequently to support the new features in modern graphics cards.
Kent747 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 OpenGL will always beat D3D 1. Its supported on almost all operating systems... Try finding DirectX on linux.. 2. You don't have to update your version of OpenGL to work with the newest games.. This is because you can use chipset dependant extensions (right from the GPU that do not require certain software to be installed 3. if done properly its faster... (see reason 2) 4. John Carmack likes opengl more than D3D.. (look at every engine since q2..) John carmack drives the gaming industry...
Warlord Archon Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Open GL is NOT dead. I can assure you. I have a game that I cannot describe but is sooo new it isn't even out yet. It uses OpenGL. No it isn't a crap game. FRAPS works with all games. I used it on America's Army once and AA uses D3D. GTA:VC is a Direct 3D game, don't you remember it asking if you want to install it??
ArtiGamer Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I have seen Half Life II alpha and is that whit openGL? BTW:I have Doom III
