Opengl 2.1/2.0 essentially use a similar abstraction interface as does dx10 to remove need for hardware specific extension support from stuff that uses them. Essentially it comes down to the quality of the drivers. Nvidia is pretty good at pumping out new extensions into there driver releases.
<br><br>Technically the fps difference should be moot. But some features may be missing from dx10/opengl and vs versa (i.e number plates in ut2004 were only added to a very late release because nvidia didn't ship the particular extension for ages).
