I have a pretty significant graphics error with the DX9 plugin that I do not get with the OGL plugin in Twilight Princess, see attached screenshot. It's also definitely slower for this game.

edit: I'm playing the Gamecube version.

Yeah ZTP its still faster in ogl for me too, i just wanted to know what is that problem with the upper left part of the screen.

Looks like that's where the blur effect actually covers the screen. Not sure if they (original developers) added that on purpose, but it's been there for quite a while. It doesn't display like that though, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

Ah, so it is a known issue? Cool, that's all I really wanted to know. Was worried I had screwed up a setting somewhere.

The Dx Plugin makes my skin crawl.
Speed isn't a factor, the graphics are just disgusting.

I'm suddenly Itchy Sad

DX9 probably has the potential to run faster and look cleaner on windows systems than the OGL plugin, but it will obviously take time to develop.

i have 4x aa in ssbb with 4 char in delfino plaza with dx plug in.
i get the same speed or more that i have with opengl plugin.
play wind waker with rev 4175 using dx plugin and see now a great speed difference. i'm using aa in this game too and no slowdown, only some small gfx errors

Try Resident Evil 3 with OGL and also with DX plugin.
Major speedup with the DX but lot's of graphic errors.
I have a Geforce 8800 GTS 640MB.
