Move from GL 1.0 to GL 3.0

Post by paul424 »

Suppose I port the game I collaborate -- https://opendungeons.github.io/ to use the ogre's Opengl driver 3.0 instead of 1.0, would be there any benefits in performance or the change is not worth the work ?

I did a small benchmark here: https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre/issues/440

as you can see, you probably are not going to get anything performance-wise. But you will get access to geometry & compute shaders (if you need those) and most importantly you will be compatible with GLES2 (i.e. mobile).
