Switches between 3d engines. Accepts direct3d, opengl or d3d9ex as parameters.

Windows

Default:

SET gxApi "d3d9"

Other values:

"opengl" - not recommended for Windows users except for testing purposes as it can cause WoW to crash itself 
"d3d9ex" - recommended for users getting random 134 crashes while leaving Dalaran, as well as for those users with Dell XPS 630i. [1]

Macintosh

Default:

SET gxAPI "OpenGL"

As of 3.3.2, the Macintosh default has been reset to "OpenGL" until issues with the new graphics engine have been resolved.[2]
