What is generally considered to be the best renderer for Deus Ex GOTY - Direct3D or OpenGL? BTW, I have a GeForce4 Ti 4600 running the 52.16 drivers.

Back before I upgraded my TI4600 to an ATI 9800 Pro, I always had the best results using Direct 3d, with or without the multiplayer patch/GOTY version.

I think DirectX is better-supported than OpenGL, which does have a few bugs associated with it.

I just tried the OpenGL renderer on a ti4200, and it was buggy as hell. D3D always looks fine.

3-d-f-x glide,3-d-f-x glide :cheeky:
back when I had a radeon8500,opengl was faster,but enabling detail textures always caused a lot of visual anomalies.with detail textures off,the game was fine.one of the reasons I have switched to legacy pc ;)

The original OpenGL drivers were horrible. The new drivers sent out in the patch were leagues better than the originals.
I think I'd still use the OpenGL version over the DirectX version. DirectX has always looked like crap on my Radeon in that game.

Thanks for the replies, all. Clearly, Direct3D seems to be the way to go, at least on a GeForce 4.
I've had this game for well over two years now, but I've never gotten beyond Liberty Island due to my Thief Gold/2/FM addiction, which is about the only valid excuse.

I use OpenGL render from this site --> (

Look for this file "dxglr12.zip" on the site. :thumb:
And i have a GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE :cheeky:

Have you compared this OpenGL renderer to the Direct3D renderer? Is it superior in some way? I don't really want to mess with it unless there are significant improvements over Direct3D.
CCCToad on 25/3/2005 at 05:29
tried both:
and nope...stick with Direct3d.
