Comments on: Why you should use OpenGL and not DirectX http://www.vizworld.com/2010/01/opengl-directx/ Covering everything about Visualization & Computer Graphics Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:08:00 -0600 hourly 1 By: shockwavhttp://www.vizworld.com/2010/01/opengl-directx/#comment-9059 shockwav Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:32:44 +0000 http://www.vizworld.com/?p=10885#comment-9059 If this is the case, then why are there so many more powerful features in DirectX? Whereas the simple problem of Alpha Sorting is still unsolved in OpenGL (going back many years). I prefer open standards to close in-shop ones like DirectX. But if DirectX is being improved whereas OpenGL is languishing (or at least AMD is letting it languish - not sure about Nvidia) then the closed path is what we will use.
