Opengl all the way, directx is windows biased, only works well on windows. While opengl is platform independent.

OpenGL, it works on any and every OS out there, Direct3D only works on windows.
OpenGL2.1 has full feature parity with DX9.0c and OGL3.0 comming out next year aims to have full parity with DX10, making the argument that DX is better that mmuch less convincing as all current DX10 cards already have all they need to be OGL3.0 compatible.
http://www.opengl.org/news/permalink...ive_this_year/
for more info.
But really, take a look ant any game that can do both, Quake 4, Doom 3, Unreal Tournament 2k4, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, World Of Warcraft and even Regnum, can you see a real difference in visual quality? My guess is that you really can't, you'll maybe see a few FPS less, but only cause the game was prposefully optimized for DX3D instead of OGL. It's like the games that are running better on a slower ATI card then on a faster nvidia card, someone got paid a bit more to make sure that their card played the game better then the other guys cards but doing a few software tweaks.

you are right, but in Regnum's cease it's just funny
they have the ATI logo on the startup of the game and still their videocards suck for this game in Linux.
yes I know their drivers suck for Linux, but I didn't have ANY problems with ANY game except this one in Linux.

Surak did give you an answer about that.
I think that's enough, it explains everything and I'm just happy that we have a Linux client at all.

This is so true. If you look at the box of any game (retail) it will usually have the " nVidia, The way it's meant to be played..." logo or the Ati logo (not sure what it is right now). Also as stated, OpenGL is platform independent and has coded some of the greatest games of all time like Doom 3, Quake 4 and UT2004. I can't see anyone arguing about those. Even if you don't like fps games you just can't argue with the graphics, they're beautiful.
