minus-squareSeekPie@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·16 days agoSo if a game has OpenGL and DirextX as options such as TF2), it’s generally better to pick DirectX?

On AMD it’s more of a tossup, depends on the game and the features in question but generally it won’t need to translate OpenGL, so it has higher maximum performance potential.
