With Google Earth, should i be concerned about DirectX and OpenGL mode?

[Marcos]

I was just about to delete the start menu entries to just 1 shortcut, but which should i keep?

[kalniel]

Doesn't matter, you can change it within the program anyway.

[Marcos]

Well thats half problem solved

should i care about which mode i use?

[Funkstar]

Shouldn't think so.

I guess the different startup options are in case one (or t'other) case Google Earth to crash because of drivers before it opens enough for you to change the option.

I would say the number of people this is going to happen to will be tiny

[Marcos]

oh i see, so its more of a compatibility test and theres not a particular superior mode?

Because im quite happy with the standard Google Earth just want to make sure im using the best option

[Funkstar]

well you could try both and see if one or the other causes problems or performs better.

OpenGL and Direct3D do the same things, just in different ways.
