NVIDIA Puts Out Its OpenGL 4.0 Linux Driver

“With NVIDIA having announced the GeForce GTX 470 and 480
graphics cards (formerly known as “Fermi”) at the end of March and
these graphics cards starting to appear at Internet retailers (see
links below), NVIDIA has now put out its OpenGL 4.0 Linux
driver.

“The OpenGL 4.0 specification was released towards the middle of
March alongside an OpenGL 3.3 update, which NVIDIA was quick to
capitalize upon the 3.x update just days later with new drivers for
supported operating systems. NVIDIA wasn’t immediate in delivering
OpenGL 4.0 support, since they didn’t have any hardware at the time
capable of supporting this newest specification. Now that the
GeForce GTX 470/480 GPUs are out there and other new DirectX 11.0 /
OpenGL 4.0 capable hardware is on the way, NVIDIA has put out its
OpenGL 4.0 driver update for Linux and Windows.”
