What should I run counterstrike in D3D or OpenGl

Title says it, thanks guys!

OpenGL.

OpenGL if possible. Not that D3D itself is bad, but for this game, OpenGL is the API of choice. The D3D option is there more for compatibility with older 3D cards without full OpenGL support.

OpenGL ! I remember when my first was playing in D3D and he couldnt see any of the decals, bullet holes, blood stains, etc.

You can fix that decal and bullet hole problem in D3D quite easily. Read the readme file and look for instructions about the 'gl_polyoffset' command.

Half-Life is based (loosly) on the Quake engine. OpenGL is the native API.

OpenGL will run much quicker than Direct3d in CS.

I use the OpenGL and it runs great. Tried the D3D and just didn't seem to be as good. Go with the OpenGL budday!

OpenGL is the best and only choice.
Why? Cause CounterStrike is designed/developed on OGL and D3d is just as a alternative choice for those older video card that poor support OGL.
