NVIDIA has released a set of OpenGL 4.3 drivers for Windows (R305.53) and for Linux (and FreeBSD + Solaris). For Linux, the version number is not the same: R304.15. You can download R304.15 for Linux from THIS PAGE.
If you are under Linux Mint and need some help to install R304.15, just check this article: How to quickly Install NVIDIA R302.11 Drivers Under Linux Mint 13).
That said, let’s see the OpenGL extensions exposed by R304.15 for a GeForce GTX 680 (Linux Mint 13, 64-bit). First the GLX extensions: they are the same than for R304.22, and 27 GLX extensions are exposed:
- GLX_ARB_get_proc_address
- GLX_ARB_multisample
- GLX_EXT_visual_info
- GLX_EXT_visual_rating

R305.53 for Windows has 309 GL extensions while R304.15 for Linux exposes 310 GL ext. Here are the difference between Windows and Linux versions:
– the following extensions are only available under Linux:
- GL_EXT_x11_sync_object
- GL_NV_vdpau_interop
– the following extension is only available under Windows:
- GL_WIN_swap_hint
