DoYouEvenModBro Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 What does this mean? I found it in the release notes. "OpenGL support for User Profiles and Catalyst Application Profiles Users can now create, per application, 3D setting profiles for OpenGL applications. OpenGL applications are now supported through Catalyst Application Profile updates (for single GPU and AMD CrossFire configurations)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiyen Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 OpenGL is the free alternative to DirectX Some games support OpenGL as well as DirectX for its graphics processing. This just means that like you can create DX profiles you can now make OGL ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechAngel85 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hmm... I wonder if this release is in part preparing for SteamOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouEvenModBro Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hmm... I wonder if this release is in part preparing for SteamOS.It's possible. I'm still confused about the OpenGL part. I've definitely set custom profiles for OpenGL games before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouEvenModBro Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Did anyone figure out what they meant by OpenGL profiles? I've most definitely set profiles for OpenGL games before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Did anyone figure out what they meant by OpenGL profiles? I've most definitely set profiles for OpenGL games before.Current Catalyst profiles allow association of custom settings with the executable (including the one OpenGL setting), but I always thought that these profiles altered config "under the hood" ... things that are not directly configurable by the user (e.g., CrossfireX behavior). I have yet to install 13.11 beta drivers over my current 13.8 beta drivers ... skipping 13.9 official release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouEvenModBro Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Sorry guys. I thought Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 were OpenGL for some reason so I actually guess I never did make 3d Profiles for OpenGL applications previously :-/.
