Massive improvement. The facts as they are. Much better.

So r700g is not somewhat on pare with r600g?

No, still only OpenGL 2.

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD PITCAIRN
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.2.0 (git-cdad129)
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30

Some bits and pieces required for OpenGL 3.x are still missing. AFAIK it's mostly transform feedback and msaa. It's still great to finally see radeonsi evolve into a usable driver.

The funny thing being, as an owner of a RadeonSI, the catalyst driver is pretty much both unstable and unusable for any kind of graphical work beyond simply rendering a desktop.
