WoW and OpenGL?
    #5016774 - 12/05/05 07:59 AM (18 years, 5 months ago)

Ok, i'm a bit confused and i've tried looking everywhere for the answer. Maybe someone here has it.

I play world of warcraft, on an AMD 1.2 ghz with enough ram and an OC'd Radeon 9600 PRO.

I use the Cosmos UI pack to play.  Now, it has its own 'patcher' window, and while it updates, there's a lil check to 'Use OpenGL'.

Now im a bit confused, on the WoW box, and the site, it says i need DirectX9c and nothing about opengl. So i asume the game is built on DirectX. 
Why does cosmos give me an OpenGL option?  Does it 'emulate' the directx in opengl or sumthing?  Also, is that supposed to improve performance, or just make it look pretty for people with uber machines?
And lastly, i forgot which is which, but would my ATI card be good with the openGL setting?

Thanks dudes.

:sun:

RuNE i also play WoW, and i would say dont use cosmos UI pack. I use

it is fantastic. everything you need. Directx is the software micro. uses in order to render their graphics on your card. So using DX9c is fine you shouldnt have to use OpenGL unless u do have a badass machine thatll run it. But the quality you can see with your plain eye doesnt improve that much. Run your game in a FullScreen Window btw. helps you interact with your other computer apps. GL. PEacE.

It probably still uses DirectX for sound and such, even if you choose OpenGL for the video. I don't know if the visual quality would be any different or not. ATI cards generally do better with DirectX, so I don't see any reason for you to use OpenGL.
