No, you cant "configure", neither "download" it. The support for Direct3d (Directx) and Opengl is included in the graphics card drivers.

Make sure you get the latest detonator drivers from nvidia. http://www.nvidia.com

Install them, then when the computer boots back up, right click the desktop and select properties. Then go to the settings tab and click the advanced button. After that go to the tab that says the name of your card. It should open up a fancy menu on the left of the window. Click on opengl settings. That is all you can do for configuration.

Opengl is a gaming graphics mode. Some games support it, some don't. Read up on whatever game you are trying to play ahead of time to find out what it supports.
