Hmm... you are right.
I was looking at an old version of openmw.
OpenMW refuses to run off my graphics card
Re: OpenMW refuses to run off my graphics card
This may be a known problem (wrong card selected for direct3d). Does anyone know? I was looking at .19

Why is that? OpenGL is usually preferred over DirectX.pueojit wrote:I don't particularly want to use OpenGL, but it will have to do

Because DX is sooooooooooooooooooooo better™. At least that's what MS PR said

Whenever I use it on emulators and such, it generally runs worseBrotherBrick wrote:Why is that? OpenGL is usually preferred over DirectX.pueojit wrote:I don't particularly want to use OpenGL, but it will have to do

Direct3d generally gives me better framerate as well.

Re: OpenMW refuses to run off my graphics card
I remember Zini saying that directx was better supported in some hardware drivers on windows for some cards than opengl.
That could explain the difference.

That makes sense. I think Nvidia runs OpenGL better, and I'm running a full AMD systemBrotherBrick wrote:I remember Zini saying that directx was better supported in some hardware drivers on windows for some cards than opengl.

All I can do is 'guess' since I'm out of my depth with Windows and have been since for almost a decade.
So in summation, it works on your AMD Radeon when selecting OpenGL but slower. When select DirectX you can only run on the Intel. Is this correct?
