<div dir="ltr"><div>Yes you perfectly sum up the situation.<br></div>Excepts the fp64 extensions, the REDWOOD cards supports as many OpenGL4+ extensions as the later cards (RadeonNI/SI), as you can see here:<br><a href="https://people.freedesktop.org/~imirkin/glxinfo/glxinfo.html">https://people.freedesktop.org/~imirkin/glxinfo/glxinfo.html</a><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-06-04 8:51 GMT+02:00 Constantine <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Hi-Angel@yandex.ru" target="_blank">Hi-Angel@yandex.ru</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Wow, cool, I didn't even know it is possible! So, it is like that:<br>
<br>
$ MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.1 glxinfo | grep version<br>
<span class=""> server glx version string: 1.4<br>
client glx version string: 1.4<br>
GLX version: 1.4<br>
</span> OpenGL core profile version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.3.0-devel<br>
(git-329d115 2016-05-26 trusty-oibaf-ppa)<br>
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.10<br>
OpenGL version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.3.0-devel (git-329d115<br>
2016-05-26 trusty-oibaf-ppa)<br>
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.10<br>
<span class=""> OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 11.3.0-devel<br>
(git-329d115 2016-05-26 trusty-oibaf-ppa)<br>
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00<br>
<br>
</span>So, just to recap: the card hardware doesn't support some mandatory extensions<br>
— fp64 — thus staying at 3.3 version, but still have other — probably, most —<br>
extensions from 4.1. As apps does checking version, rather than extensions,<br>
there's a possibility that an app still would run, when version is faked.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
Btw, just if anybody curious: Wine source I have doesn't seem to use<br>
GL_ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 anywhere except «opengl32» dll, so DX games, probably,<br>
should work just fine.<br>
