Intel HD 3000 driver (i7-2640m) no OpenGL 3.3 and OpenCL 1.2 CPU runtime support

Hello, palmiris:

I would like you to check this article that has the different APIs that are supported for each of the generations of processors from Intel® (your product is from the second generation).

Supported Graphics APIs and Features for Graphics Drivers

If you require any further information or support, feel free to contact us back.

Hi there,

I have the same problem. I updated from Ubuntu to Windows 10 and OpenGL 3.3 (supported in linux) is not supported here in Windows with the same graphical card (Intel HD Graphics 3000).

I wish you could solve this issue because it is necessary for me be able to support Open GL 3.3 and I adquired my laptop recently.

Thank you,

hi everybody

would the _Intel guys add some speed to introducing OpenGL 3.3 to the HD 3000 owners on Windows if I said I needed this too !??

have just wasted about 3 hours of sleep to figure out why Bullet demos refused to run and kept crashing with null pointer errors. well thanks to a feature of 3.2 which of course we don't have in 3.1 -> glFramebufferTexture

and why 3.3 is totally missing on Windows while present on Linux well this is just preposterous and goes to show that (software) project management can be sloppy even at giant companies. hmmm, or is it there where this was invented in the first place? and then the whole denial thing, "hardware doesn't support it, go away!"... oh man, pure comedy.

let me throw something else on the table while we're waiting for the apples to ripe, does the HD 3000 offer any support for CUDA? anything!?

cheers

Hello, el_bibiq:

The possible support for this is being reviewed, as soon as I get an answer regarding that, I will be providing you with that resolution.

Regarding the CUDA support, that is a technology developed by another company and implementing that on HD Graphics is limited.

Would that question be related to graphics purposes only?

hi Esteban

to tell you the truth I don't really expect Intel to consume time updating the HD 3000 Windows driver to support OpenGL 3.3 which should have been there to begin with. I was hoping to spare about 100 euro on a video card but it seems it is unavoidable, so thank you Intel!

regarding the CUDA, what I meant (while writing it wrong of course) was whether the HD 3000 offered any CUDA-like functionality. I suppose OpenCL should be somewhat supported but if that's like the OpenGL 3.3... I know now what to expect. and the purpose is purely computational.

or any other parallel computing paradigm/model?

this info I tried to find out on the Internet but I couldn't -> how many GPU cores are there on the HD 3000? the developing CUDA competition is stating this number right along all the other graphics card data. if I'm not mistaken this same competition was the first company on the market to offer such a revolutionary feature so if Intel is to at least catch up you'd better be doing quantum leaps on the subject.

cheers
