Catalyst driver 9.2 add three new OpenGL extensions

Last month I posted about the Catalyst 9.1 drivers with the full support for OpenGL 3.0 on Radeon HD 2400. ATI has released the new 9.2 driver and it introduces three new OpenGL extensions:

• GL_EXT_bindable_uniform
• GL_EXT_texture_shared_exponent
• WGL_AMDX_gpu_association

I wrote to AMD to find out if the new WGL_AMDX_gpu_association was the equivalent to NVIDIA’s WGL_NV_gpu_affinity extension for binging an OpenGL render context to a specific GPU (when several GPUs are present). AMD responded back with the post from Nick Haemel.
