It's not always easy to get games that use OpenGL to work on a PC. Many different display drivers can utilize OpenGL in many different ways, leading to coding fragmentation. For users looking to troubleshoot or debug their system in order to play a particular game, it helps to have software installed which can go in and report back the specifications of the system's OpenGL capabilities and the types of display drivers and 3D acceleration that the system is using in order to render 3D graphics for games. OpenGL Extension viewer is a great way to do this.

OpenGL Extension Viewer allows you to take control of your PC by viewing all of the OpenGL driver information available for your 3D accelerator. It will show you attributes such as display modes, device chipset, etc. You can even save this data in the form of a report/text file. Three different registry databases are used to display extension specs as well.

Once OpenGL Extension Viewer is installed, it keeps track of what your display devices are up to so you can figure out how to make your system compatible with the games you want to play. Once you have access to the specifications of your display devices, you can modify settings as necessary to get 3D games such as first-person shooters, first-person RPGs, or 3rd-person overhead-view platform jumping games to play correctly by accessing the display, graphics, or video options in the games' control panels and making the necessary adjustments.

OpenGL Extension Viewer takes the mystery out of game-system compatibility, allowing you to enjoy the video games you've purchased. It's available as a free download, and it's free to use. Take control of your PC's graphic capabilities and try out OpenGL Extension Viewer today.
