NS
Requires
OpenGL or Direct3D rendering to play.
As for lag, if it's a video issue, then upgrade your card or PC, or get a better connection as G_Kid suggested.

Direct 3D is I think:
Graphics are like open GL but sprites and lighting are rendered like software, so you get less lag. I have to run direct 3d on my computer for natural selection

Direct3d uses the Hardware renderer on your video card.

Also when you turn on D3D, the look of everything is crapified to some extent.
