3D games

PC games have come a long way to its present state. Ever since 3D games became one of the most played games, I have been always excited to try all of them. Well, as you know, there are two standards in 3D graphic rendering, Direct 3D and OpenGL.

Direct 3D vs OpenGl

From my research, I realised that these standards can be selected in different situation to give better 3D processing. These situation are based on ease of use, speed, extensions and portability. Since OpenGL seem to be a better option in many cases, most game developers would still allow you to choose which standard to use.

For me, I quite like how the way 3D games are installed now. Most of them can detect your system's configuration and give you the best suggestion which standard to use. This transparency allows the user to quickly install the game and start playing the game which what we buy the game for right? It's not a good idea to let the gamer to ponder on which standards to use and he/she does not even know whether the game is compatible to the PC's configurations.
