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?
A 'better' GPU may or may not matter. If it can do OpenGL in hardware,
it may make a major difference. If it cannot, then performance may
actually suffer.
What type of video card and what GPU were you thinking of upgrading to?
