However on the Desktop both nVidia and AMD support the compatibility profile, so your old OpenGL programs should work. The core profile is upward compatible from 3.1, and the compatibility profile is upward compatible all the way from OpenGL 1.1.īut the compatibility profile is not required for OpenGL compilance, so the driver writers may chose to provide only the core profile in which case your 2.1 programs may not work. However in Version 3.2 the ARB defined the concept of GL “profiles” and defined the “core” and “compatibility” profiles. Most OpenGL versions are upward compatible, the only GL version which removed some APIs was the Version 3.1.


lib files will be different in GL 4.3, so will my code that I wrote with GL 2.x still compile with GL 4.3? Just out of curiosity, do we still use glut in GL 4.3? I guess the. Design note: It should be noted that Blender does. I’m planning on getting a new PC soon, just wondering where I stand. In first part of Will Blender run on older computers the minimum requirements necessary to run Blender were discussed, namely the need for graphics hardware supporting and/or compatibility with OpenGL 3.3 or higher (largely as related to Windows OS computers), itself published c.2010. If your issue persists, I would like to confirm if before you were able to see the issue that you have mentioned, have you done any software update or change? Please let me know any change that you did in case if you require further investigation.I’m actually using the graphics chipset on my motherboard, which worked fine when programming GL 2.x. Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows® 10 and Windows 7*/8.1* The latest graphic driver for Intel® HD Graphics 4000: How to Manually Install an Intel® Graphics Driver in Windows® 10 & Windows 8* or Windows 8.1* At the following link you will find the details of the installation: In order for you to get the proper update for OpenGL 4.0 you will need to install the latest driver for your graphic.

In regard to your concern, the latest version available of OpenGL it is the 4.0.
