The GeForce 416.16 exposes 2 new OpenGL extensions for a Pascal GPUs and likely more on a Turing GPU but I can’t test it now:

 - GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_R8
 - GL_NV_memory_attachment

The complete list of all 410 extensions is available HERE.

 
In the Vulkan side, the version 1.1.84 of the specification has been implemented and new device extensions have been added:

- VK_KHR_driver_properties (version: 1)
- VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64 (version: 1)
- VK_KHR_vulkan_memory_model (version: 2)
- VK_EXT_conditional_rendering (version: 1)
- VK_EXT_inline_uniform_block (version: 1)

The maxBoundDescriptorSets (device limits) has been updated from 8 to 32.

The complete Vulkan report is available HERE.
