Question

Which do you think is better in terms of frame rates and image quality--OpenGL or Direct3D? I played Homeworld: Cataclysm using both, but I didn't notice a difference. Is one better than the other or am I just not using the right settings?

In games that support it, OpenGL is generally better in terms of eye candy and frames per sec, but Direct 3d is quickly catching up. On the other hand I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule.
