05/01/2012 December 2011 OpenGL drivers status

A little late OpenGL drivers status this month and this is pretty unfortunate considering the progress of AMD OpenGL 4.2 drivers which fixes half of the remaining bugs, leaving only four of them.

I had some discussions about the issue I have reported on the 420-image-store and it is not clear to me whether this is a bug or not. My understanding is that it is a bug but I have to have a closer look as the specification language which I haven't put to my priorities yet.

UPDATE on the 06/01/2012

AMD Catalyst 12.1a preview support a new extension: NV_copy_image. Futhermore, the extension run successfully the sample 420-texture-copy-nv.

  • 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!

The test

These tests have been done on Windows 7 64 with the OpenGL Samples Pack 4.2.2.0 on an GeForce GTX 470 and a Radeon HD 5850.
