Framerate

Nov 11, 2005 DragonEmpire link
Ok, I've been using OpenGL for the last um, well it's been a LONG time. Anyway I use it because it's better for me in framerate (it has better graphics too in my opinion.) I have no idea what it is, but my framerate for DirectX SUCKS!!

So, I've finally decided to post some pics and stuff.

In DirectX:

1)My framerate is lower than in OpenGL.
2)I get HUGE spikes.
3)Everything is choppy.

In OpenGL:

1)My framerate is higher.
2)I still get spikes but they're VERY small. (Picture 2)
3)Everything is nice and smooth.
