NVIDIA again is prompt to the game with delivering Linux support for new OpenGL specifications. NVIDIA, however, recommends its Linux / BSD / OpenSolaris users that do not need OpenGL 3.3 support to continue running the 196.36.15 pre-release. NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner has put out the 195.36.07.03 driver with the primary change being the introduction of OpenGL 3.3 functionality.
For those with a newer NVIDIA graphics card, you can now run OpenGL 3.3 applications or games as they have just released a supported driver. OpenGL 3.x on the other-hand is compatible with DirectX 10.0 grade hardware, such as the Radeon HD 4000 series and GeForce 200 series. OpenGL 4.0 is designed for graphics cards that are meant for DirectX 11.0, which basically means AMD's Radeon HD 5000 series and NVIDIA's forthcoming GeForce 400 series. On the same day this industry consortium also released the OpenGL 3.3 specification, which aims to bring back as much of the OpenGL 4.0 functionality to graphics cards that only support OG元. Just earlier this month the Khronos Group unveiled the OpenGL 4.0 specification that brought many long-awaited changed to this open graphics API.
