I hate the ugliness of DirectX. Anarchy Online is actually running DX7 at the minute. There is a new engine change coming soon. But, yes, it uses DirectX. So here is a question: WINE will perform a little lesser with the same hardware. If I go ahead and by a more powerful video card will that improve FPS? Is this conversion from DirectX to OpenGL done by the GPU or CPU - or does that not matter?
