    Depends entirely upon the game. That's all there is to it.

    Used to be OpenGL but now all that seems to give you are glitches and mis-placed textures. Not reason why not to use D3D all the time anymore.

    you don't really get to choose much anymore, most games are made for one or the other. If you're talking about UT, I find it performs better in direct3d

    Many Open GL games are written first not for Widnows and are ported, like UT. Open GL is also common on Linux for gaming. Depends on games dev history. I actually with DX8 enabled BOTH in my drivers and worked for a balance of features. In Linux, no DirectX exists.
