DirectX or OpenGL?

[Shinken]

What works better for you? On the Steam Deck DirectX runs with 25-40 FPS on low settings which is perfectly playable as it's a slow game anyway. Haven't tested OpenGL yet but as it's not Vulcan I doubt it runs faster.

I was wondering the same thing, and I have a decently high end computer.

OpenGL. Tested.

Serious questions... why are these guys trying to bring back OpenGL instead of some real high end Fx on Vulcan or DX12 and RT?

DX12 is DirectX which was released in 1995 for windows only

OpenGL is cross platform and cross language released in 1992

Vulkan next gen OpenGL 2016 runs better on multicore newer systems.

Vulkan is still new which means dev's are still learning it.

Why can't I set DirectX? It relaunches the game and it remains OpenGL.

DirectX 12 came out with Windows 10. Not in 1995. The first version of DirectX came out in 1995, but not version 12.
