    Ah yes, that is how that going on for decades . First Nvidia, then AMD... and other are expected to follow, but they can't .

      That really interesting and Heise.de is a very trustable source.

      Die konkreten Ziele hat Khronos bereits festgelegt: Die Schnittstelle soll in Hinblick auf die Architektur moderner GPUs von Grund auf neu gestaltet werden und vor allem einen geringeren Overhead und verbessertes Multithreading bieten. Dazu soll eine gemeinsame Shading-Programmiersprache kommen und die M?glichkeit der expliziten Anwendungskontrolle ?ber GPU- und CPU-Workloads.
      Sounds like a complete rewrite also with a now shading language to better control GPU/CPU workload.

          Only if it was actually true for OpenGL.

            Google does not really care desktop apis.

              Remember, it's a beta driver

                  Guess without looking Nvidia, then AMD, then others... is it?

                  If more contributions are from non GPU maker, then something must be weird in this world .

                    They already explained their reasons, this is related to their 3 months quality control and release schedule. That said, I don't see why they couldn't release some "unstable alpha" with a big disclaimer...

                    I can't wait to see reports of games utilizing ARB_clip_control on computers with unsupported drivers. This should be fun
                    At least, this extension is (at first glance) almost trivial to implement, I didn't check the others.

                      That cheered me up.
