Morrowind Code Patch or OpenMW?

[Chaz]

I would like to have a few graphical mods just to make the game look a bit better so maybe just retexture of terrain and characters, but Ive read there are some perfomance issues with the game.
Which one do you recommend using as I've read they are incompatible, what are the differences and which one is "better" for me?

and here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Morrowind/comments/ci5dks/openmw_mods_vs_base_game_mods/

your specs are great for both imho
