– Max Dynamic Lights: 8 (with OpenGL 3.1 this value has no longer meaning…)įorceWare 190.15 exposes 184 extensions. – GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) Version: 1.40 NVIDIA via Cg compiler – OpenGL Renderer: GeForce GTX 280/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! – Operating System: Windows XP 32-bit SP2

GL_NV_parameter_buffer_object2: not yet documented.

GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects: not yet documented.

GL_ARB_copy_buffer introduces a new function called CopyBufferSubData(). This may be useful to load buffer objects in a loading thread while minimizing cost and synchronization effort in the rendering thread. This extension provides a mechanism to do an accelerated copy from one buffer object to another. And few days after, NVIDIA adds this extension officially.

GL_ARB_copy_buffer: ah ah it’s funny, in this post I said that ATI was the first to add GL_ARB_copy_buffer in Catalyst 9.6.

This extension is not mandatory and NVIDIA, ATI, S3 can decide to add or not add it in their drivers. Features removed from OpenGL 3.0 have been moved into the new extension GL_ARB_compatibility. The major change in OpenGL 3.1 is that all deprecated functions in OpenGL 3.0 are no longer supported. GL_ARB_compatibility: this an OpenGL 3.1 extension.Here are some GPU Caps Viewer screenshots:įorceWare 190.15 adds five new OpenGL extensions (compared to ForceWare 185.66 or ForceWare 185.85/186.08):

OpenGL extensions look like a game for our two main GPU suppliers 😉

But curiously, OpenGL 3.1 support was already supported by ForceWare 182.47 and has been removed later. Currently there is no much information about what’s new in 190-series but one new thing I can tell you is that this new driver supports OpenGL 3.1 and the latest update of the OpenGL Shading Language, I mean GLSL 1.40. This driver initially planned for Quadro boards has been repackaged (thanks to Guru3D and laptopvideo2go) to support all GeForce 6/7/8/9/GT200. A new set of ForceWare graphics drivers is available:įorceWare 190.15 is a BETA version and is the first available graphics driver of the new 190-series.
