IdTech 5 and OpenGL 4.0

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 3:05 am

Are there any plans for OpenGL 4.0 features support in idTech5 as well as R.A.G.E.? Or it will be Doom 4 only.

It's not R.A.G.E, it's RAGE. :)

I think OpenGL 4.0 is too new to be implented into RAGE, it was released just 2.5 weeks ago. I mean, new things will always appear and if they keep adding things forever, well, then there's another Duke Nukem Forever :P

The roadmap and design document for developing RAGE was done long ago, and I imagine they follow that plan rather strictly instead of adding whatever new things that appear during the development.

Still, this is just me speculating as I have no insight of the RAGE development at all, so it's very possible I'm wrong :P

Is OpenGL 4 even supported on current cards?

AMD/ATI released an OpenGL 4.0 beta driver a few days ago for their 5xxx series. Nothing yet from NVIDIA.
