    Phoronix: LLVMpipe Has Patches Bringing It To OpenGL 4.5 Support

    For years Mesa's LLVMpipe software rasterizer has been bound to OpenGL 3.3 support but finally in recent months Red Hat's David Airlie has been tackling OpenGL 4.x support... Right now in Mesa it's at OpenGL 4.3 but there are patches seemingly to be mainlined very soon that will take it up to OpenGL 4.5...

    As it stands right now, Mesa 20.2 will ship in a few weeks with OpenGL 4.3 support for LLVMpipe rather than OpenGL 4.3.
    So, nothing new? *giggles*

      unrelated but exciting: It seems there is a WIP zink branch that has reached OpenGL 4.0.

      It would be interesting to see comparisons with RadeonSI Vs zink on Radv

          initially at least I would caution a "Expect to be underwhelmed" - but over time expect more and more perf

            Great work :-) Mesa 20.2 will be an interesting upgrade!

                No. This is for when you don't have gpu hardware capable of OpenGL at all.

                  The patch exposing 4.5 support has landed.

                    i see nothing interesting in comparing obviously slower and faster setups
