need a answer to a topic thats in the console forum, ready to erupt into a volcano at any moment.
I figured id ask here cuz, well you're all coder types and would know the answer.

Or is it simply independant and utilizes DirectX because of the other components of it?
and plz respond to this quote:
thx.
Your knowledge will be greatly appreciated.

Also, the use of DX8.x, DX9, etc is a classification for graphics chips and their general feature-set. Like DX9 has some pretty high specifications and ATI has followed those specs with their R300, but what you can do in OpenGL is still governed by those specs (just an example).
thx.
