Comparison of AMD Graphics Processing Units - OpenGL Version Note

OpenGL Version Note

OpenGL version indicates which graphics acceleration operations the card implements.

• OpenGL 1.1 – Texture objects
• OpenGL 1.2 – 3D textures, BGRA and packed pixel formats
• OpenGL 1.3 – Multitexturing, multisampling, texture compression
• OpenGL 1.4 – Depth textures
