27/01/2011 January 2011 OpenGL drivers status

Few evolutions since last month on drivers OpenGL support beside actually a couple a new bug detected thanks to the OpenGL Samples 4.1.4.2 newly released.

It seems that some corner cases on buffer clears with glClearBuffer are not handle correctly by AMD.

  • White: Unsupported.
  • 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!

On the regard of non standard capabilities, AMD is now supporting varying location matching for all program types (unified and separated) which is really a good thing for homogenious conventions across GLSL code and flexibility as this allows switching from unified and separated program without changing the GLSL code.

I hope Febrary will be a better month!
