Yup, this is pretty challenging and obscure work, I wouldn't expect Intel not to have paid for it! That said, it's wonderful to see it come through and full credit to Igalia for the implementation.

Funnily enough, the HD3000 iGPU supports OpenGL 3.3 under Linux, while it "only" goes up to 3.1 under Windows. So, not by much, but still. :P

Originally posted by Gusar View Post4.0 is not the limit. va64 patches are available, and with those, Ivy will have 4.2. Stencil texturing is also possible I think, which would bring Ivy to 4.3. And while not natively supported by the hardware, it is possible to implement query_buffer_object with some complex workaround (Kayden once explained it somewhere in this forum). Should that happen, Ivy would go all the way to 4.5. No idea if Intel will actually go that far, but 4.2 will definitely happen once the fp64 and va64 patches land.

And the 3rd and 4th gen Intel graphics (Intel GMA) have OpenGL 2.1 on Linux, but are limited to older versions on other OSes.
