Thanks Amnon, That's a real big help and some great info.
Bit of a grey area methinks, but like you said, actual use is different from the official line.
The short exchange below about the latest drivers for the card, AMD Catalyst, seem to bear it out
3.3 was released 2010 as you said, and this is from 2011
Thanks for the test sketch! Mine says 4.0. I'm on Processing 2.0.
I've seen this other thread where the version is more or less capped to what is available, guess I'll just have to see.
But if you are on Processing 2.0 and OpenGL 3.3 with a 4800, I am encouraged.
Are you using windows 7? ....64 or 32?
Ta,
