[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 363433, member: 12177"] Seeing as the vast majority of developers tend not to put much effort into making the Mac versions of their games, I'd say the Windows version will always run better. Even putting that aside and pretending that's not the case, though, DirectX >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OpenGL, and it shows in game performance. Just look at WoW on Windows as compared to WoW on OS X (Blizzard actually does put effort into making the Mac version run well). Windows as an OS with Windows-specific frameworks is just better at handling real-time 3D graphics rendering than OS X is. [/QUOTE]
