A new set of drivers have crept onto the NVIDIA developer zone — 190.56, to be exact — offering support for OpenGL 3.2 and GLSL 1.50. As this is an OpenGL 3.2 driver, it only supports NVIDIA parts capable of executing OGL 3.2 code: GeForce 8000, 9000, G100, GT120, GT130, GT220, GTS150, GTS254, GTX 260 or better, and ION.
Before you go runnin’ off all excited about OpenGL 3.2, realize that its inclusion will not inherently offer any advantage over the current crop of 3.1 drivers. Adding 3.2 to the mixing bowl simply allows developers to take advantage of new rendering techniques OpenGL’s handlers have added in recent times.
That said, we like pushing those driver revisions upwards just like you do, so you can bet we already have our copy on ice.
