Directx can only be used in the java client. html uses webgl or something like that.

so it doesnt use my gpu? WTF

WebGL is GPU acceleration for browsers. Pretty much OpenGL for the browser. So yes, it does use your GPU.

DirectX is Windows only and OpenGL/WebGL is cross-platform. That is the reason why Jagex went with WebGL so RuneScape 3 can run on all platforms (Windows, Macintosh, Linux distro's).

If you play the Java version you can play with DirectX.

OpenGL doesn't use your GPU… it's so laggy for me on OpenGL rather than DirectX. And I wanna play on the Beta so I can seee far, test the graphics.

First Opengl does use your gpu. Opengl and webgl aren't the same thing. Software, Directx and opengl are used on the java client. The html5 beta only uses webgl. If the beta is lagging change your graphics to the lowest setting.

Jagex has stated that DirectX should give you a higher performance on a Windows machine. There shouldn't be a huge difference though, maybe a maximum of 5 FPS. If there is a bigger difference try updating your drivers.

yeah i feel the same way

Hmm. I would love to test this on a machine with a FireGL or Quadro workstation card, ie a gfx card optimized for ogl rather than directX like 99.9% of all consumers have.

really cause back in runescape i usually play on max settings but it lagged alot on open gl..

Consider buying the Dell Precision M3800 Mobile Workstation :) Only thing is that it's going to push you back around 2000$. But yeah it would indeed be interesting to see how that works out. Here are the specs by the way.

15.6" screen 3200x1800 resolution
8mm on thinnest point, 18mm on thickest point
Intel Core i7-4702MQ @ 2.2-3.2 Ghz
Nvidia Quadro K1100M 2GB
16GB RAM
512GB SSD

heh. not a bad laptop. If i wasnt so into games i would buy a ThinkPad for CAD, but… meh. a standard gfx card suffices for what i would do on it. (who needs a laptop anyway when you can build a desktop?)

AFAIK, just so we are all clear on what each thing does with runescape…
The HTML5 Client uses WebGL. WebGL uses your GPU for rendering and is based on OpenGL.

The Java Client has 3 different display methods (used to be 4).
DirectX. Direct3D is microsoft's 3D library and runs on Windows machines (may work through wine? idk) and like WebGL and OpenGL, uses your GPU.
OpenGL. OpenGL is maintained by The Khronos Group (the same people who maintain WebGL) and uses your GPU for rendering. OpenGL can be run on many systems such as linux, OS* and windows.
Safe Mode. Uhh. not too sure about this. Would assume this runs off the CPU. Dont know too much about it.
Software Mode. Now obsolete, software mode ran software originally on basically every old computer that emulated what we have today has a graphics processor. yes back then there were grraphics cards and everything, but not like what we have today.
