There are some very small differences in how things look with OpenGL versus using the native Windows graphics. It is not something you would notice unless you knew specifically where to look (things like when a number is supposed to be "Bold").

The main difference is that with OpenGL graphics calculations are moved to the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) which frees up calculations from the main processor, giving an overall boost to performance.
