I’ve been playing around with GL versioning stuff today, and need to determine if theres any method to the madness of [icode]glGet[/icode] to be able to parse it.
So I would be very appreciative of anyone who would run this code for me and post what it returns.
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
System.out.println(GL11.glGetString(GL11.GL_RENDERER));
System.out.println(GL11.glGetString(GL11.GL_VERSION));
System.out.println(GL11.glGetString(GL11.GL_VENDOR));

Additionally, my driver version is 340.52
Thank you for all the replies people! This is very useful information to me.
However, I do still need more from people with different hardware to others in this thread. I’d be particularly happy for anyone with a Radeon HD 7xxx or HD 6xxx series card to share their stuff.
Also, @SHC, @Ecumene
If you weren’t aware, I think your drivers are out of date
Maybe yes, I just installed the drivers from the GPU disk (Was installing windows yesterday after getting my replacement HDD). I just updated them to 347.25. Thanks for saying.

My new results, after updating the drivers.
Yup, one of the perks of being on linux with an Nvidia GPU is that you’re always out of date!
I do agree, but the latest ones available to linux is 346.35. You can see the official drivers for linux/unix here. http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
Go and download the driver from here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/81252/en-us
Then open up terminal and type these commands to install it.
$ sudo -i
$ sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.35.run
These are the commands that I have used once, but may require some changes (Written out of my mind)

I got an idea, why don’t we turn this into a survey? That way, we will know what version we should learn and target so that it will reach more number of players.
@NegativeZero, please display the percentage of opengl versions in the first post, that would definitely help us.
@EveryoneElse, please do post what this returns for you, including details like your GPU make and model, your driver version, and your Operating System.
Let’s not go overboard. Enough time is being wasted as it is. Once NegativeZero has his data he can move on to do way more interesting things than crunching numbers on hardware of JGO members. The goal here is finding patterns, not doing statistics.
I’ll just nip it in the bud…

That’s enough now. Riven, would you lock the topic please?

Just out of curiosity, the people that are posted specs with Intel cards. Are those laptops? Or desktops?
Just interested in knowing if OpenGL knows you have a dedicated card even if it is not currently enabled, like on optimus laptops.
