It may be worth trying to use this environment variable when executing your application as it may force the correct version to be used. This isn't what was reported without the environment variable. OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 I tried the following command on my system: MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 glxinfo | grep OpenGLДЄnd this gave the following for the OpenGL version string and OpenGL shading language version string: OpenGL version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 12.0.3 It states that this variable: changes the value returned by glGetString(GL_VERSION) and possibly the GL API type. I just came across the Mesa environment variable MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE. It also includes tests that require V4.x and none will run on my setup so this may be worth a try. Mine states '3.3 (Core)' which is the correct maximum version my card supports.

If you download, install and run this and then select 'Info' at the bottom of the screen it appears to provide your maximum OpenGL version. I've googled other benchmark applications and found GFXBench available here. Again this may be just pulling the version string. They do appear to offer support, so if you're still having problems it may be best to see if they can help further. However, their site does suggest that there are large differences between different GPU's.

I looked briefly at the software application and I didn't see any mention of a requirement for OpenGL 3.3.

If so, I don't think you have a driver issue. I think it will report your max core profile version as 4.3 (not 3.0). I would run this and see what it reports. If you run the command glxinfo | grep Max you should receive a list that details the maximum versions available for the core profile, compatibility profile etc. My 'OpenGL Version String' is reported exactly the same as yours and I'm developing using OpenGL 3.2 on this system. However, I don't think this represents the maximum version available and possibly not what the application is using. I think the application may just be pulling the version string and reporting it. This is were environment variables like MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.3 come in handy. My speculation is that, for context-unaware applications, the OpenGL version might be purposefully reported as 3.0 for maximum compatibility. This is not the case when running an application in the context of 'core' profile.

#What is opengl 4.3 drivers#

To make it possible for OpenGL drivers to support deprecated functions while also being fully compatible with versions 3.1+, OpenGL introduced 'core' and 'compatible' profiles.Д«asically, if you run an application in the context of the 'compatible' profile, you are guaranteed to have access to all OpenGL capabilities up to a particular version including all the deprecated functions. Starting from OpenGL version 3.0 some features were marked as deprecated, and newer drivers don't necessarily have to support them to be OpenGL 3.1+ compatible. More detailed explanation: This complicated versioning is related to changes done in OpenGL version 3.0, up to which all OpenGL versions were fully backwards compatible. The 'OpenGL core profile version string' line displays your supported OpenGL as '4.3'. Short answer: Your OpenGL version in not stuck at 3.0. OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.10 OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 12.0.3 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile

OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.30 OpenGL core profile version string: 4.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 12.0.3 OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center Hope someone can help! glxinfo|grep OpenGL So I don't understand what's going wrong, it seems like both hardware and software should be plenty up to date to get at least 3.3.

This is xubuntu 16.10 and the graphics card is Intel HD 5500. Apparently my 'effective' OpenGL version is 3.0. I need to use a program on my laptop that requires OpenGL 3.3 or better.
