There is always more things to be done to improve performance, too.I’m actually using the graphics chipset on my motherboard, which worked fine when programming GL 2.x. OpenGL always renders against the VSYNC, which means that the Framerate option is also not supported.
There is one quality knob that I can re-introduce, and that is controlling anti-aliasing. The drawing quality options Jim mentioned don't actually do anything for OpenGL, they're a hold-over from D3D Theater View and I'll probably hide them when OpenGL is active. Only Intel disappoints by not having a Windows 10 driver for Sandy Bridge, even though the hardware can do OpenGL just fine. Any graphics card from the last 10 years or sometimes even more will support it. Short of those Sandy Bridge Intel GPUs on Windows 10 (and any earlier Intel GPUs for that matter), OpenGL 2.1/3.2 support is actually quite widespread. It may report OpenGL 3.2 support, but Intels OpenGL driver on those GPUs is actually broken on Windows 10 and doesn't work reliably (because the driver is designed for Windows 8 only).
Note that there is an exception specific to the Intel HD3000 on Windows 10. This tool is what I use to identify extensions etc:
Is there a way to see this info - or a safe program to download/install that will give this info for anyone else that comes across this thread about OpenGL? On my laptop with nVidia Quadro NVS 160M (graphics) Theater View works fine but there is no place I can find that identifies the OpenGL version. This got me wondering what OpenGL version my other computers where running. Picture attached is from a different computer - but shows what I'm referring to with the Intel Graphics info. Then another Google search turned up instructions to go to "Device Manager>Display Adapter>Drivers" which showed "OpenCL.dll was installed, but not the version.Īfter a Win10 restart and a couple of updates, the problem fixed itself (I guess new drivers where installed to support the new CPU/Graphics) and I now see the OpenGL version 4.3 (and OpenCL 1.2) in the "Intel HD Graphics Control Panel". Googling said to "Run dxdiag" - but that doesn't report anything about OpenGL. I tried to figure out what version I was running and found there was no place that showed the version. But the first time I tried Theater View after the CPU install I still got the message I was running version 1.0 and Theater View was blank screen. On another note, I replaced the i5-2500K CPU (Sandy Bridge) on my Server with an i3-3225 (Ivy Bridge) the other day, which has the Intel HD 4000 graphics. To help us understand your computer's power - run the MC Benchmark tool (Help>Benchmark).ĭo you have an overall score of 2000 or higher? When you say "Animation in MC" is not smooth - do you mean watching "animated shows/movies", or are you referring to something about the MC program itself?
