OpenGL more intense than DirectX?

[cfetter79]

Running machine in sig. Have a VGA silencer on the 9800 pro. I'm getting (mild) artifacts in D3 at stock speeds, whereas I can run say, FS2004 at 410... is OpenGL more intense than DirectX or is it just that this certain program is so intense?

Thanks in advance.
