Request for OpenGL Mesh Shaders

TheAbsol — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 18:49:21 GMT

Hello. I made an old post a while ago about this, asking for this feature, but I think I specified NV_OpenGL_Mesh_Shaders. AMD is currently adding OpenGL mesh shaders to their drivers for a specific Minecraft mod. This mod was made exclusively for Nvidia GPUs, but the developer is actively working with AMD to get his mod compatible on their GPUs. This mod is called Nvidium and is a massive performance mod. I'd actually consider buying an Intel over an AMD if Intel GPUs had this feature.

Hello TheAbsol,

Thank you for posting on Intel Community Forum.

We greatly appreciate your feedback, as it is important to us in our efforts to improve. Currently, the only information I can share is that we support Mesh Shader extensions for Vulkan and DirectX 12 Ultimate only. Unfortunately, Mesh Shader extensions for OpenGL are not supported.

Regarding whether this feature will be introduced or supported in future updates, I cannot provide a definitive answer at this time.

For more information, you can access the same link:

If you have further questions or concerns, please let me know.

Yeah, I got my answer. It's a shame that Intel seems to have little interest in it right now. I'd love to see them do more work on OpenGL.
