New Features

This section provides information on new features found in this release of the Radeon

Display Driver. These include the following:

  • OpenGL 3.1 extension support

OpenGL 3.1 extension support

This release of ATI Catalyst provides OpenGL 3.1 extension support. The

following is a list of OpenGL 3.1 features and extensions added in Catalyst 9.8:

  • Support for OpenGL Shading Language 1.30 and 1.40

  • Instanced rendering with a per-instance counter accessible to vertex shaders (GL ARB draw instanced)
  • Data copying between buffer objects (GL EXT copy buffer)

  • Primitive restart (NV primitive restart). Because client enable/disable no longer exists in OpenGL 3.1, the PRIMITIVE RESTART state has become server state, unlike theì NV extension where it is client state. As a result, the numeric values assigned to PRIMITIVE RESTART and PRIMITIVE RESTART INDEX differ from the NV versions of those tokens
  • At least 16 texture image units must be accessible to vertex shaders, in addition to the 16 already guaranteed to be accessible to fragment shaders
  • Texture buffer objects (GL ARB texture buffer object)

  • Rectangular textures (GL ARB texture rectangle)

  • Uniform buffer objects (GL ARB uniform buffer object)

  • SNORM texture component formats
