Open gl for the most part is outdated - the latest core of direct x has pretty much everything open gl could support. But I do appreciate your input. ---

geforce2 mx dosent support open gl too good, thats more for its big brothers the Ti cards. Direct3d is more compatible for the geforce 2 mx than open gl. Though dont think open gl is outdated, many 3d application still use it to great use. It all depends on what you are using it for?
