6/15/2023 0 Comments Intel gma x4500![]() As you can read from this news, a new Intel driver for Vista enable OpenGL 2.0 support. ![]() I don't have Vista (I have XP professional) so I cannot test it (OpenGL 2.0 shading language).Ĭan someone test this new driver with this Application? ( GPU Caps Viewer 1.5.0)Īnyone know which Intel IGP's now officially support OpenGL 2.0 under these new drivers? I believe only the GMA X3500 and the GMA X4500 family haveconsistentlybeen marketed as having hardware OpenGL 2.0 support. While the GMA X3100 was originally advertised as only having OpenGL 1.5, which is what is still written in the GM965 datasheet (), recent presentations have said that OpenGL 2.0 support is coming for the GMA X3100 too. The release notes for OpenGL 2.0 drivers aren't very descriptive since they explicitly say the G31, G33, Q33, and Q35 don't support OpenGL 2.0, which makes sense, but if that is meant to imply that every other IGP in the driver supports OpenGL 2.0, that would indicate that the 946GZ, which the driver supports, would be capable of OpenGL 2.0 which seems unlikely. ![]() I would guess that the GMA X3500, and X4500 series are now OpenGL 2.0 capable and possibly the GMA X3100 too. What about the GMA X3000? An official list of supported IGPs would be nice. Since GMA X4500M does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the Eaglelake graphics processor, the device supports DirectX 10.0. Intel doesn't suppor t the GLSL (GL shading language) in Hardware (yet). The GMA X4500M was a mobile integrated graphics solution by Intel, launched on October 1st, 2008. Now if you don't do GLSL in hardware, then supporting OpenGL >=2.0 doesn't become a major problem even for very old chipsets. ![]()
