01/11/2012 October 2012 OpenGL drivers status

This month we are testing Catalyst 12.11 beta 4 (9.10.8) and Forceware 310.33.

No sign yet from AMD OpenGL 4.3 implementation. On NVIDIA side the debug output implementation has been improved regarding the texture information. Unfortunately, there is an issue with it and a warning is reported as an error. The KHR_debug implemenation has progressed but the object labels are not used within debug messages.

In ForceWare 310.33, NVIDIA exposes a new extension called NV_draw_texture for image space rendering. It could be an interesting extension but the design is very limitating as no fragment shader can we used for with this command reducing the functionnalities of this extension to something close to texture blitting...

The test

  • 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!
