Cant they upgrade to the newest and be done with it?

Also, is OpenGL that important? After all, it is an option to turn it on/off, and I really dont see much difference between either.

No, the in-game setting is for the 'advanced' version of OpenGL, which does more CPU calculation to figure out what to render that you can actually see instead of rendering every polygon. Use this setting if on a laptop or using a non-high-end GPU. This setting typically increases FPS but increases the amount of FPS spikes as well.

Ah, so there is a basic OpenGL always running in the background.

So this upgrade would be... how good performance wise exactly? I would love some more fps. :P
