AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D Is Now Incredibly Close To OpenGL 4.3!

[geearf]

RadeonSI is OpenGL 4.3

I don't think that'll be completely true until the above bug will be solved.
For now you'll still need the override.

RadeonSI is OpenGL 4.3 and OpenGL ES 3.1 now

Because compatibility.

Google opengl compatibility vs core profile.

Thanks.

It seems I have 4.1, but why "OpenGL version string" says 3.0?

gl4.5 predates gles3.2, so it couldn't require it.

It doesn't require all of it, but parts of gles3.2 are in the GL 4.5-based 3_1_compat extension. Even though it's named 3.1 and not 3.2.

Although i guess he said that was for GLES3.2 - not sure which bits are required for the GL4.5 extension and which ones aren't.

Are you sure you checked the core profiile version and not just compatibility profile version?

How come I only have OpenGL 3 on Arch and AMD R9 270X? I'm using Mesa 11.2 and "radeon" as my driver.
