NVIDIA continues to work closely with the Khronos Group on the development of new OpenGL specifications and extensions.
#New opengl 4.6 portable#
“OpenGL is vital to our professional customers who need portable access to the latest graphics functionality.
#New opengl 4.6 drivers#
We are fully committed to delivering open source drivers on leading-edge Intel® platforms,” said Imad Sousou, vice president of the Software and Services Group and general manager of the Open Source Technology Center at Intel. “Intel is proud to support the important advances that OpenGL 4.6 brings to the industry and to have OpenGL 4.6 certified on the latest four generations of Intel® Core™ processors. OpenGL 4.6 also shares test source with OpenGL ES and has added coverage for numerous ARB and KHR extensions used across APIs, as well all the new features in OpenGL 4.6. Features enjoying improved testing include direct state access, robustness, GLSL, framebuffer, renderbuffer objects and many more. The OpenGL Working Group and Khronos members have invested heavily in enhancing the conformance tests for OpenGL 4.6, with significantly increased testing transparency, and enhanced test coverage.

Those who pass certification will be able to use the royalty-free OpenGL trademark and gain protection under the Khronos Intellectual Property Framework. Any company, whether or not a Khronos member, is welcome to become an OpenGL 4.6 adopter and submit conformance test results for OpenGL Working Group review and approval. Information on all OpenGL conformant products can be found on the Khronos Conformant Product Registry. Khronos members Intel and NVIDIA have already successfully made submissions to the OpenGL 4.6 Adopters Program, showcasing reliable cross-vendor operation, and enabling the submitted products to become officially conformant. “The Khronos OpenGL Working Group is committed to support and enhance this vital industry standard as its availability forges ahead into in its second quarter century.”

The new test suite makes adoption smoother for API implementers, and enables developers to benefit from the reliable availability of the new features and improvements made in the latest iteration of the OpenGL standard,” said Piers Daniell, OpenGL Working Group chair at Khronos and principal engineer at NVIDIA. Since then, an enormous amount of work has gone into enhancing the associated conformance tests. “Khronos was proud to release OpenGL 4.6 while celebrating the standard’s 25th anniversary over the summer.
