The complete list of all 289 OpenGL extensions exposed by Catalyst 14.4 RC under Linux 64-bit for a Radeon HD 7770 is available HERE (the list shows 288 extensions because GL_ARB_compatibility is not listed). OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50 NVIDIA OpenGL shading language version string: 4. Now that AMD has added the OpenGL 4.4 support, I’m going to improve the bindless texture support in GLSL Hacker. I tested the bindless texture support ( GL_ARB_bindless_texture) with a small demo coded with GLSL Hacker that draws (one render call) a quad with 32 bindless textures: The OpenGL 4.4 support is almost complete (all important OpenGL extensions are present) and I think that GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION will return 4.40 in the final version. is able to expose OpenGL 4.5 under the compatibility context rather than GL 4.4. With a full OpenGL 4.4 support, GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION should return 4.40 and not 4.30. OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 20.0.4 OpenGL. GL_VERSION: 4 Compatibility Profile Context 14.10 Part reference, part tutorial, this book thoroughly explains the shift from fixed-functionality graphics hardware to the new era of programmable graphics hardware and the additions to the OpenGL API that support this programmability. GLSL Hacker gave me the following OpenGL info: OpenGL® Shading Language, Third Edition, extensively updated for OpenGL 3.1, is the experienced application programmer’s guide to writing shaders. Here is a screenshot of the control center with a Radeon HD 7770: I tested this Cat 14.4 RC with Linux Mint 13 (I tried it before on Mint 16 but Cat 14.4 messed up the X server!). AMD Catalyst 14.4 RC for Linux can be downloaded from this page.

AMD has published a Catalyst graphics driver for Linux with complete OpenGL 4.4 support. I ran glxinfo grep OpenGLand got this output: OpenGL vendor string: Intel.
