01/07/2012 June 2012 OpenGL drivers status

Precedent OpenGL drivers reported quite some issues on the Radeon HD 7750. To get a better view of the issues I have added this month a test with a Nothern Islands GPU.

This month the last release drivers appears to be for GeForce, Forceware 304.48; and for Radeon, Catalyst 12.7 beta (8.981).

The test

These tests have been done on Windows 7 64 with the OpenGL Samples Pack 4.2.4 branch, still in development, on a GeForce GTX 680, a FirePro V7900 and a Radeon HD 7750.

  • White: Unsupported or untested.
  • Blue: The sample works but it doesn't follow the OpenGL specification.
  • Green: The sample works following the OpenGL specification.
  • Orange: The sample doesn't work correctly but a workaround is possible.
  • Red: The sample does't work and I haven't found any workaround.
  • Black: Really distubing problem!

Once again, don't forget to contribute to the OpenGL community by reporting your bugs!

UPDATE 2012-07-12: It looks like something went wrong during my previous OpenGL status leading to some issues which are not actually present on AMD. I haven't manage to identify what went wrong but I have updated the status to fix my mistakes. Sorry about that.
