Open GL vs. Direct 3D

I can't seem to find any settings regarding my video card...or if Maya is even using it. Can I switch between OGL or D3D? Which does Maya work better with? Where do I find the settings?

Thanks

Maya only supports OGL. Mainly beacuse maya is programmed to be crossplatform... So they haven included direct3D in their code as it only works in windows environments.

But is OGL displayed automatically turned on? Is there a software renderer as well? Is there a way to switch? I just wanna make sure Maya is using my OGL card.

Yes, asuming your card supports OGL. Trust me if maya inst uing ogl YOU WILL KOW IT INSTANTLY, because its slow as hell.
