OpenGL ES database ES 3.1 and 3.2 support, capability listing pages

After the recent overhaul I now also have added support for OpenGL ES 3.1 and 3.2 to the OpenGL ES hardware database and the Android app. Both versions added lots of new capabilities that have been lacking from the client application and database, so even though there are lots of reports for OpenGL ES 3.1 and 3.2 those only contain capabilities up to OpenGL ES 3.0. GLES 3.1 brought compute shaders, GLES 3. [Read More]

OpenGL ES CapsViewer updated to 0.6

I have released update 0.6 for the OpenGL ES CapsViewer.

Changelog :

  • Added OpenGL ES 3.2 capabilities (if supported by device)
  • Added OpenGL ES 3.1 capabilities (if supported by device)
  • Minor bugfixes

The update should be automatically installed, and if you’ve submitted a device where 0.2 reported a wrong OpenGL ES version, please feel free to resubmit it.

OpenGL ES hardware database overhaul

I finally found some time to overhaul the OpenGL ES hardware database. I admittedly neglected my OpenGL databases in recent years (mainly due to Vulkan ® and a severe lack of spare time), and especially the OpenGL ES one was in dire need of an overhaul and a cleanup. So I spent a few days fixing lots of problems (both technical and data-related) as well as getting it (mostly) on par with the Vulkan hardware database and the changes are now live. [Read More]

Combined Vulkan and OpenGL ES listing for android

Upon popular request I finally got around combining android device data from my Vulkan and OpenGL ES hardware databases into a convenient table. This should be handy if you plan on supporting both apis on Vulkan or if you just need to check for general device support. The new page can be reached via https://android.gpuinfo.org/ It combines all android device reports from the Vulkan database with all reports from the OpenGL ES database and also uses google’s official device list for translating device IDs (stored with Vulkan and OpenGL ES reports) into actual retail names.

OpenGL ES CapsViewer updated to 0.3

High on the heels of the last release (0.2), I just updated the OpenGL ES CapsViewer to version 0.3. Changelog : Changed way of setting up the OpenGL ES render context Certain devices (mostly those with PowerVR GPUs) were reporting wrong OpenGL ES versions (e.g. 1.1 instead of 2.0). I’ve changed the way of setting up the highest possible OpenGL ES version, so those devices should now display their real supported OpenGL ES version. [Read More]

OpenGL ES CapsViewer update to 0.2

I’ve just released an update for the OpenGL ES CapsViewer to google’s playstore. This version should fix crashes upon startup that seemed to be caused by a wrong egl configuration, so for this version I’ve changed the method of selecting the egl configuration for the render context. So if the application crashed on your device feel free to update (in case you’ve turned automatic updates off) the the most recent version and submit your OpenGL ES reports. [Read More]

OpenGL ES Caps Viewer available on Playstore

My first ever mobile app is now available over at Google’s PlayStore! This is a premiere for me, and though I wasn’t on wether to spend the 25$ registration fee for the google’s developer console, I hope many android apps and games will follow. Download via Google play The OpenGL ES CapsViewer is the mobile counterpart to the OpenGL CapsViewer, reading the OpenGL ES implementation info of your Android device, as well as device information that may be of use to developers.
