With the Catalyst 10.7 beta releasing today, AMD becomes the first GPU manufacturer to unveil support for OpenGL ES 2.0. OpenGL ES 2.0 is the basis for WebGL, the standard that allows web developers to use the canvas tag present in HTML5 to bring 3D graphics to the internet. Apple, Google, Mozilla, and Opera—due to their respective browsers—all form part of the WebGL working group. Your web pages are about to get a lot flashier.
“AMD is a steadfast supporter of industry standards, including those that unlock the power of GPU acceleration,” said Manju Hegde, corporate vice president, AMD Fusion Experience Program. “At AMD, we see the future of computing as being intensely visual, requiring a variety of rich media 2D and 3D applications. With functionality like the OpenGL ES 2.0 driver and technology breakthroughs made possible by AMD Fusion APUs, we aim to deliver the ideal development platform for immersive experiences both online and natively on virtually any PC form factor.”
You can download the drivers for 7/Vista and XP directly from AMD.
