That is because Graal's support for OpenGL most likely sucks. OpenGL is powerful and would be perfect for Graal, including the 3D stuff.

Do you even have any idea what you are talking about?

Both the Mac and Linux clients use OpenGL and they perform fine, and OpenGL mode also has worked pretty well for me on older Windows computers in the past. If you are experiencing problems using OpenGL mode, I suggest it is because your graphics drivers are old/broken or you have something set up wrong.

Ah, well, I should have added that it sucks on Windows. For whatever reason. I know it runs superb on Linux and Mac.

OpenGL is good because of its cross-platform ability, whilst DirectX isn't. DirectX is VERY powerful on a Windows platform, but is not supported on Mac or Linux as far as I know.

Should be possible on Apples now that they're PC based. Seems it's possible to emulate it on Linux, but I imagine it's pretty bad.

DirectX will work on a Mac that is running Windows. It is not possible to use the DirectX API natively inside Mac OS X, though, regardless of architecture.

"PC-based"? Do you mean they use Intel instead of PPC processors?

No, I mean the video cards they're using now were previously used in PCs only. I believe they get Intel & ATi stuff?

All Macs currently use either Nvidia and ATI, but even before the Intel switch, ATI was used (I'd need to check about Nvidia, but pretty sure they were used).

PCs is a generic term anyway, but I guess you are referring to Windows or maybe Linux aswell.

But anyway, your point is valid, though I doubt Microsoft will develop DirectX for Mac.
