No OpenGL in Vista? - Polyloop

sailor-ed · 6th February 2007, 21:06

I have heard that Vista has no support for OpenGL. Is this true? Wouldn't that be bad news for lots of 3d apps?

I think you have an OPENGL ICD (Instalable Client Driver) provided for their own card by ATI and Nvidia... not sure about it...

This was reported early in Vista Beta and caused a lot of unecessary hype, both Nvida and ATI said they would have it addressed before release.

Thanks for the clarification, gentlemen! Probably going to stick with XP anyhow.

I will too, I remember Win-ME and actually got one... never again. ;)
I'll wait until the first service pack is out at least and then get 4 new machines for the company and demote the old p-4's to render farm material.

I am seeing a lot of horrible Vista reports popping up in the rhino forums. What is so wonderful about Vista anyway? I have no problems running XP Pro on all my apps. So no reason to change. Bill Gates does not need my money...
