What I did is make an application that does the following:
Create an OpenGL 3.0 context, then ask OpenGL which version it is. It says: `OpenGL 3.0.xxxx'. So I ask for OpenGL 3.0 and I got OpenGL 3.0. Then I tried creating an OpenGL 3.1 context and thereafter I asked OpenGL which version it is. It says: `OpenGL 3.1.xxxx beta'. So I asked for OpenGL 3.1 and I got a beta OpenGL 3.1 context. The last thing I tried was creating an OpenGL 3.2 context. This does not work, OpenGL gave an error.
So why do you claim Catalyst 9.7 supports OpenGL 3.2? Because it clearly doesn't.
OpenGL reference pages say the following:
Code:
The GL_VERSION and GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION strings begin with a version number. The version number uses one of these forms: major_number.minor_number major_number.minor_number.release_number
3: major version (OpenGL 3.x)
1: minor version (OpenGL 3.1)
8787: release_number: just a number AMD uses to indicate which version of the OpenGL driver this is. It increases with every release. It has nothing to do with OpenGL itself.
