Ready with an OpenGL 4.x-compliant card, or not, no matter, cause a new version of GPU Caps Viewer is here and it features a basic but relevant demo to showcase tessellation via OpenGL 4.

Beside the OGL 4 tessellation demo, the v1.9.0 release adds support for Nvidia's Tesla C2050 computing processor, provides links to OpenGL registry, and makes use of the debug bit in the creation of the OpenGL 3 or OpenGL 4 context.

GPU Caps Viewer 1.10.0 Overview



The important feature of this version is related to OpenCL. In the previous versions, it was possible to select the compute device on which OpenCL kernels were executed. But there was a limitation: only the compute devices of the first OpenCL platform could be selected.

Now, this limitation no longer exists: you can select the platform you want and, for the selected platform, you can select a particular compute device (registry hacks are no longer needed).
