all cards right now (both nvidia and ati) are opengl and directx compatible AND compliant. This means that they both run the games well. However, nVidia renders opengl games better than ATI's cards..... ATI renders directx 9 better than nVidia...

no card "has" opengl....

what games are you planning to play?

PLZ dunt use the WORD "BUY" lol cause tht aint ever gona happen around here lol
