Appendix C NVIDIA ForceWare Graphics Display Driver - Feature History Release 5 Enhancements The Release 5 driver adds capabilities in the following areas: OpenGL Changes have been made to the core, extensions, performance, and available features of OpenGL. OpenGL 1.2 Core Release 5 adds all the features that constitute the OpenGL 1.2 core capabilities: • BGRA pixel formats • packed pixel formats (plus R5_G6_B5 formats and reversed formats) • rescaling vertex normals • specular highlights after texturing • level-of-detail control for mipmapped textures (supported in software on TNT2) • texture coordinate edge clamping • 3-D textures (performed in software on all platforms) • vertex array subranges for optimizing vertex array processing (glDrawRangeElements() retains the performance of glDrawElements()) OpenGL Extensions The OpenGL extensions in Table C.2 were added or changed in Release 5.
