If my OpenGL is outdated, where do I go to update my OpenGL? I have a GTX 780 so I know it supports OGL 4.4, but I can't find anywhere on my PC that says what OpenGL I have installed.
You don't. Just keep your drivers up to date.
If you were running Linux, you could just type "glxinfo" into a terminal and it'd tell you.

For Windows and OS X, there's also this thing: http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/
Weird, GLview says I have 4.3 installed, but I have the latest nvidia drivers installed on my 780. Could that be why buffer_storage isn't working?

This might be your logic error right here. According to this, it does not.

So according to those specs, only the GTX 780 Ti has 4.4 support. So why do I see people with a GTX 760 having support for buffer_storage, which is a 4.4 feature?
The spec sheet is outdated. It still says neobrain's 660 is 4.3 even though we know from testing that it is running 4.4.
drhycodan, have you tried completely removing your old drivers, rebooting, then installing the latest?

I wonder if the OGL version support has to do with the OEM's options. Clearly they made it with 4.3 support at one point if the spec sheet is outdated. Maybe some packages got newer chips with newer version support and some didn't. Just a guess.

Also, using GLview, click on details next to the OpenGL Version. On my GTX 770M, it says 4.3, but the summary says 100% of 4.4, so I think its just a problem with the software, or they don't have an OGL 4.4 test built yet, so they don't show it
