NVIDIA driver slowdowns

[Admins]

Could add an option to start directly with OpenGL. By default we are using DirectX because it runs much better for most people and takes much less resources.

But why are we experiencing this nvidia problem? It's been confirmed that I'm experiencing it too (I uploaded the video).

For the people with more RAM and a higher end video card, OpenGL would work better, because they have the resources to use a faster mode. People with older hardware will run slower in OpenGL, because they don't have enough resources to use it, and so DirectX would benefit them because it uses less resources.

I have a gig of RAM. I shouldn't have this level delay.

Same here, and same with everyone else that has a computer more than capable of running full speed without any slow downs. A "video card" mode like OpenGL should fix it.

Nice one minute response time, by the way.
