Why does OpenGL work better than Direct3D on my Pc?

Holywater · 03-23-2011, 10:31 PM #1

Hey.
My games are running much smoother and faster with OpenGL.
I'm using a Nvidia GeForce GT 430 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Here's a screenshot of my Pc :

Why do you care dude? You're getting better speed in opengl and faster=better. So just use it if it's faster Smile

its not possible
wrong configuration of dx9 oder dx11 plugin

how the hell did you got 3,9? ö-Ö
update your gpu driver
or post please detailed indexpoints

its sounds like you are using the windows7 integrated nvidia driver...

Depends on wich game you are actually playing ?

Zelda TP(Wii PAL) in new revs is definitely excellent in OpenGL (at least for me) while it gives me lots of errors with Dx9 or 11 !

I downloaded now the latest Graficcard Driver for my GT 430.
And I installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

Here is a detailed systeminformation from my Pc.
Would be very nice if any1 know more Big Grin

can you post a screenshot of your device manager with opened display adapter?

the 3,9 are only possible with integrated gpu ö_Ö
like a gpu onboard who knows...

if there is a onboard gpu start dolphin and select in the advanced gpu settings the right display adapter...
another solution would be to disable it in your bios...

if there is no second display adapter...
post every config screen of dolphin with dx9 or dx11

it's Nvidia optimus , 3.9 is the crappy Intel HD (same here)
Intel HD can't use OpenGL but Nvidia GT430 can that's why OpenGL run faster for you

but there is no Intel HD listet...
because its a Desktop PC i think...
try to disable onboard gpu via bios if possible...
else try to force nvidia GPU for dolphin.exe

Versuch das einfach mal...
if you can deactivate the onboard gpu via bios
post a new screen of the systeminformation with a new test
