As usual, NVIDIA is the first to release a graphics driver with a new OpenGL version. R326.29 is the first OpenGL 4.4 driver available and comes with a bunch of new extensions.
R326.29 direct download links:
More downloads are available HERE.
R326.29 is an OpenGL 4.4 driver and exposes 317 OpenGL extensions for a GeForce GTX 780 under Win8 64-bit. Compared to R326.19, R326.29 adds the following 16 new extensions:
- GL_ARB_bindless_texture
- GL_ARB_buffer_storage (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_ARB_clear_texture (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_ARB_compute_variable_group_size
- GL_ARB_enhanced_layouts (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_ARB_indirect_parameters
- GL_ARB_multi_bind (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_ARB_seamless_cubemap_per_texture
- GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters
- GL_ARB_shader_group_vote
- GL_ARB_query_buffer_object (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_ARB_texture_mirror_clamp_to_edge (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_ARB_texture_stencil8 (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_ARB_vertex_type_10f_11f_11f_rev (OpenGL 4.4)
- GL_NV_blend_equation_advanced
- GL_ARB_sparse_texture
Not all new OpenGL extensions are related to OpenGL 4.4, check out this article for more details: OpenGL 4.4 specifications released.
It’s nice to see that NVIDIA bindless texture extension is now part of ARB. I will update GLSL Hacker asap!

312 extensions on GTX470..up from 297….
missing GL_ARB_bindless_texture from opengl4.4
ARB_bindless_texture is not a part of OpenGL 4.4, it’s an ARB extension and it present in geforce 6xx+ sesies. Check this https://developer.nvidia.com/opengl-driver
yep ARB _bindless_texture is an OpenGL 4.x extension but not OpenGL 4.4, I updated the post.
GeForce 326.41 Beta Driver have OpenGL 4.3 not 4.4 Why?
