- Forward-compatible context
- Debug Context

This driver exposes the following new extensions:

- OpenGL 2.1 extensions:
- ARB_vertex_array_object
- ARB_framebuffer_object
- ARB_half_float_vertex
- OpenGL 3.0 extensions:
- WGL_create_context
- ARB_draw_instanced

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
