OpenGL is pretty much dead, for games that is. DX has more then 90% of the market in games..

Do the review sites already have these cards? Then right after March 9th when the NDA lifts the reviews will be up?

I imagine so.

openGL is used in Doom3, quake 4, and ET:quake wars

the first 2 have linux ports and I'm sure ET: quake wars will also. DX doesn't have 100% of the market and don't forget that all Mac games are openGL as well.

What's the source of the 90% figure? I was looking for figures on that a while back but had trouble finding anything. I wasn't sure how to go about it though.

it's one that Dazz was made up to try to say no one uses opengl on newer games anymore.

D3D games account for more than 90% I think.

Think of all the OpenGL games relased in the last year. Now think of all the D3D games.
