OpenGL 3.1? - The King - 07-31-2009

Hello,

sry for that (maybe) stupid questions, but I read in the news of the new Nvidia driver (190.38) that there is now support for OpenGl 3.1. So, my question(s):
What is the difference to 2.1? Would it make any sense in Dolphin? And is this going to be in dolphin in the near future(Well, I don't know what about the Ati-People, so...)

no it wouldn't make much sense, since most new feutures of openGL 3.1 can't be found within Wii games.

Changing to openGL 3.1 would just break compatibility with some graphic cards.
