That will depend on an almost infinite number of separate factors for your computer. When I last tried DirectX9 and DirectX8 in POTCO, they were very bad compared to OpenGL.

My PC with the 256 MEG NVIDIA card looks much better in open gl than directx....but can't run it in open gl with current issues. So, directx 9 it is...for now. As you stated....it all depends...many variables.

I'm sticking with openGL then. Besides, I keep disconnecting for some reason anytime I try to log on and that started after I changed it from openGL to directx9.

Strange, I was off POTCO for a month around this time last year becasue I couldn't connect.
