Phoronix: Intel Ivy Bridge Gets OpenGL 4.2 On Mesa 17.1

For those still using Intel "Ivy Bridge" class processors with integrated graphics, Mesa 17.1 will take the hardware from OpenGL 3.3 to OpenGL 4.2...

Awesome! Does this apply for Baytrail hardware too?

Good. I approve this.

Nice, thanks Igalia.

Great, finally no mesa overwrites any more. Thanks!

Now IVB on Mesa is up to where it was with the windows drivers a while after launch. Seems like there's now basically an unbroken chain of maximum GL support on hardware newer than Gen3. Great stuff. :- )

Cool! With Mesa, my Ivy Bridge will have OpenGL 4.2 then, while with Windows I only get OpenGL 4.0.

"For those still using Intel "Ivy Bridge" class processors" Damn you make me feel old Michael

It's great that Ivy Bridge got such support (I own such CPU myself), but personally I would like to be finally able to play Dying Light on my Radeon RX 470 again (lat time it was still in fglrx times), it still fails to run on mesa 17.0 (dies after splash screen), while many other games started working out of the box (not just Feral games)... I wonder what's wrong there, they try to use something from outside OpenGL 4.5 or something else?
