opengl is not enabled by you, it will be used in any game that was created using OpenGL. OpenGL, like directx, is a basically a set of pre-defined functions for shading, shadows and other rendering techniques. Examples of OpenGL games are DOOM3 (I think) and Half-Life. Half life actually gives you a choice as to which one to use, but OpenGL works much better with that game. However, Direct3D is the standard, being an implementation of DirectX.
