NVIDIA R302.80 Beta Driver for Windows 8, New OpenGL Extensions
NVIDIA has released the promised graphics driver for the Release Preview of Windows 8. This driver offers full support for the new Windows 8 display driver model WDDM 1.2 for NVIDIA Geforce and ION GPUs. You can download R302.80 from these links:
R302.80 is an OpenGL 4.2 drivers and compared to R301.24, R302.80 exposes 6 new OpenGL extensions giving a total of 275 GL extensions + 25 WGL extensions = 300 OpenGL extensions. The new extensions are:
- GL_ARB_shader_texture_lod
- GL_NV_ES1_1_compatibility
- GL_OES_compressed_paletted_texture
- GL_OES_point_size_array
- GL_OES_point_sprite
- GL_OES_read_format
Remark: all these 275 GL extensions are already present in R302.11 for Linux

R304.xx driver release by the end of the month.
Interesting, why is NVidia putting effort into supporting ES 1.1 on desktops? Developing for ES 2 on desktops is useful but ES 1 isn’t used so often anymore.
So maybe we will get ES as profiles for desktop OpenGL at siggraph (similar to core and compatibility) and NV wants to be ‘complete’ ? In this case this extension would be some kind of public beta for that functionality?
Note: pure speculation
These drivers Work! under Windows 7 (x32)(x64)
