OpenGL forum post hints at timeline for AMD OpenGL 3 drivers

Thursday, August 14, 2008 in Computer Graphics | 2 comments

As seen on the OpenGL forums:

A representative from AMD indicated that they are targeting Q1 2009 for a complete 3.0 release, with some number of betas expected between now and then. It was also pointed out that they are planning to implement the GL3 extension pack (geom shader, texbo, instancing).

I hope the pessimists are taking notes.

    I’m not sure where these people are living.
