It depends on the game enginge, and if it does support OpenGL. Generally OpenGL is faster than Direct3D in my experiances with the Geforce line of cards. The Half-life engine, Unreal Tournament Engine, UT2003 engine, Serious Sam engine, ALL like OpenGL better than Direct3D, and it runs better when you select OpenGL. Basically if OpenGL is an option, then select it! It's also not an M$ POS, where as Direct3D is! For some reason OpenGL actually looks better to me than Direct3D does. I can't actually say why, but it just looks sharper, and has slightly more detail in my eyes. OPENGL ALL THE WAY!!!
