In these days of social distancing, game developers and content creators all over the world are working from home and asking for help using Windows Remote Desktop streaming with the OpenGL tools they use. NVIDIA has created a special tool for GeForce GPUs to accelerate Windows Remote Desktop streaming with GeForce drivers R440 or later. Download and run the executable (nvidiaopenglrdp.exe) from the DesignWorks website as Administrator on the remote Windows PC where your OpenGL application will run. A dialog will confirm that OpenGL acceleration is enabled for Remote Desktop and if a reboot is required.
After missing their original target of transitioning to Intel Gallium3D by default for Mesa 19.3 as the preferred OpenGL Linux driver on Intel graphics hardware, this milestone has now been reached for Mesa 20.0.

You cannot upgrade your graphics drivers since they are provided by Apple. But your system should support OpenGL 3.3 ( ). When creating a OpenGL context you must request a CoreProfile mode. If you are using GLUT this can be done this way:
OpenGL is an industry standard 3D graphics API. OpenGL 4.1 or later is required to run CityEngine 2022.0. For more information, refer to the CityEngine system requirements. OpenGL drivers are usually installed together with the rest of the graphics driver and support software (such as DirectX).
Mac hardware and GPU software drivers have always been deeply integrated into the system. This design fuels the visually rich and graphical macOS experience as well as many deeper platform compute and graphics features. These include accelerating the user interface, providing support for advanced display features, rendering 3D graphics for pro software and games, processing photos and videos, driving powerful GPU compute features, and accelerating machine learning tasks. This deep integration also enables optimal battery life while providing for greater system performance and stability.
Apple develops, integrates, and supports macOS GPU drivers to ensure there are consistent GPU capabilities across all Mac products, including rich APIs like Metal, Core Animation, Core Image, and Core ML. To deliver the best possible customer experience, GPU drivers need to be engineered, integrated, tested, and delivered with each version of macOS. Aftermarket GPU drivers delivered by third parties are not compatible with macOS.
The GPU drivers delivered with macOS are also designed to enable a high-quality and high-performance experience when using an eGPU, as described in the list of recommended eGPU chassis and graphics card configurations below. Because of this deep system integration, only graphics cards that use the same GPU architecture as those built into Mac products are supported in macOS.
Mesa is an open-source OpenGL implementation, continually updated to support the latest OpenGL specification. It has a collection of open-source drivers for Intel graphics, ATI, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. Mesa also provides software rasterizers, such as llvmpipe.
As of 2021-11-30, many applications do not work on NVIDIA GPUs even with the latest driver 495.44 and mesa-gitAUR's master branch. When paired with Copper DRI extension (not yet upstreamed), the average FPS in Tomb Raider is 20% higher on a RTX 2070. To use Zink on NVIDIA drivers, use this command or similar:
GPUInfo provides user reported GPU/driver combinations, supported extensions, capabilities, etc. This information is useful for verifying compatibility / compliance of particular hardware under both OpenGL and Vulkan.
In the 1980s, developing software that could function with a wide range of graphics hardware was a real challenge. Software developers wrote custom interfaces and drivers for each piece of hardware. This was expensive and resulted in multiplication of effort.
One of the restrictions of IRIS GL was that it only provided access to features supported by the underlying hardware. If the graphics hardware did not support a feature natively, then the application could not use it. OpenGL overcame this problem by providing software implementations of features unsupported by hardware, allowing applications to use advanced graphics on relatively low-powered systems. OpenGL standardized access to hardware, pushed the development responsibility of hardware interface programs (device drivers) to hardware manufacturers, and delegated windowing functions to the underlying operating system. With so many different kinds of graphics hardware, getting them all to speak the same language in this way had a remarkable impact by giving software developers a higher-level platform for 3D-software development.
There are several projects which attempt to implement OpenGL on top of Vulkan. The Vulkan backend for Google's ANGLE achieved OpenGL ES 3.1 conformance in July 2020.[71] The Mesa3D project also includes such a driver, called Zink.[72]
The original plan for Blender 2.80 was to work on all GPUs that have OpenGL 3.3 drivers and were released in the last 10 years. However, we have found that there are many graphic cards that support OpenGL 3.3 in hardware, but have critical bugs in the OpenGL drivers.
macOS 10.12 or newer is supported, and Mac hardware from the last 10 years appear to be working. Older macOS versions have bugs in the OpenGL drivers that cause problems for Eevee, and the only way to upgrade the drivers is to upgrade the operating system as a whole.
Unfortunately, this does mean some GPUs released in the last 10 years are not officially supported. No Terascale OpenGL drivers have been released for Windows in the last 3 years. On Linux, drivers do continue to be updated and Blender tends to work better. But for good performance GCN is still required.
On Windows, earlier GPU generations have issues with Eevee due to bugs in the driver. No significant driver updates have been released in the last 3 years for these GPUs. On Linux, the situation is better as the drivers continue to be updated, but for good performance newer GPUs are recommended.
New Intel drivers only work for fairly recent Intel hardware. While can use newer OpenGL features to improve performance or maybe support additional Eevee features, requiring it would mean dropping support for more Intel graphics cards.
It looks like it will have to be Blender 2.79 always for all my laptops with the newest having only a Ivy Bridge CPU withe the remainder of my laptops Sandy Bridge and 1 intel first generation Core i3(Arrandale) CPU.
Or simply does not use evee. Evee is cool, but to became productive and creative its not a Must.Learn and work hard. If you get solid skills, you can done good works for Architectural companies, Furniture Companies, and in the time you can make yourself a professional. Even in portuguese are good tutorials sites, Youtube channels, and community to help. Or even, help to solve bugs in opensource drivers. Yes, of course Use Linux.Rendering can also be done free online.
Apple has announced OpenGL will be deprecated in the future, its graphics driver stuck with the dated OpenGL 4.1 spec for years now. While we regret this industry wide push away from a standardized, cross-platform graphics API, we have been forced to move with the times and instead cater to all the major graphics APIs. There is no longer the potential for one single graphics API to cater to all platforms.
We are now ready for a future when Apple will outright kill OpenGL support, while at the same time we have ensured that we have one common set of shaders that can be used across all these video drivers. The developer who has added Metal 2 support to RetroArch has already indicated he intends to bring this over to iOS and tvOS as well. And who knows, maybe even backwards compatibility with Metal 1 could arrive.
Since the release of early alpha, we have been busy integrating our OpenSWR core into the Mesa project. This enables us to take advantage of a very mature, very feature complete driver stack that would have been very difficult to develop on our own.
Always make sure to install the latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer website. These requirements are for basic Blender operation, Cycles rendering using the GPU has higher requirements.
Now you will want to cross-reference what graphics card you have with the SOLIDWORKS Hardware Certification site that covers certified cards. Also, you can download the certified driver by clicking on the link under Recommended Driver.
In a similar position myself. Laptop with Intel Graphics P630, NVIDIA Quadro M2200, and DisplayLink dock with two external monitors connected and ANYTHING that requires OpenGL will not run when connected using the DisplayLINK doc. This is a huge problem. Only solution is to disable the Intel display driver but then it appears OpenGL rendering happens in software, not ideal. PLEASE PROVIDE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, either Intel or DisplayLink or both, it is STILL BROKEN IN 2021 with DisplayLink DRIVER 10.xx
I have the Intel driver 10.18.10.4885 installed on my laptop which is obviously later that stated above (4849) and it still does not work. I have an Intel HD Graphics 4000 in my laptop which reports OpenGL 4.0, with the DisplayPort adapter connected it report 1.1.
FYI, my operating system is Win7 Ultimate, CPU i7-3632QM. All the programs that requires OpenGL doesn't work. And I just update my graphic adapter drivers to the latest version. It still crash. Waiting for the new bug fixed driver
Same Problem, I would like to use an external USB screen working with the DisplayLink Drivers and the application ArcGIS is crashing because it needs to have OpenGL .Please, update the drivers to have OpenGL Supported.Thanks
I have the same issue and it would be good to have a display link driver which would fix this problem. I figuered out, that if I am not at the dockingstation everything works well and if I open Ssketch Up before docking it will work also after I have docked. But when I close it I am unable to open it again as long as I am at the docking station. 2ff7e9595c
