The brand new OpenGL ES 3.1 drivers symbolize the primary time that conformant GPU drivers have been made obtainable for Apple’s latest {hardware} operating on the Linux platform. The drivers meet business requirements, and have apparently undergone intensive testing, together with tens of 1000’s of particular person exams, to make sure that they meet the required standards.
The drivers have additionally been authorized/signed off as conformant by Khronos, the group that at present oversees the requirements associated to OpenGL.
