WoW:CVar gxApi
Switches between 3d engines. Accepts d3d9, 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"
Note: 'gxAPI' used here is likely supposed to be 'gxApi' -- need a Mac user to confirm; I believe most CVars are case sensitive. (Pseudo-Suramar)
As of 3.3.2, the Macintosh default has been reset to "OpenGL" until issues with the new graphics engine have been resolved.[2]
