I don't do any graphics programming and so I don't really understand the various features of OpenGL or DirectX. If they hadn't said that OpenGL 4.1 is better than DirectX, the article would have meant very little to me, but I understand your point.
- gaius 16y agoThe difference between them is mainly philosophical (hence why debate can be so heated). OpenGL people believe in abstract 3D principles and grudgingly accept that you need some hardware-specific hacks to make it perform. Direct3D people believe in physical hardware, and grudgingly accept that you need some high-level abstractions in order to be productive.
