OpenGL is a graphics API, similar to DirectX, that allows programs that use it to render things. Most modern games use DirectX, so OpenGL support typically doesn't make a huge difference.

But having the driver support for newer version of OpenGL is never a bad thing. It won't necessarily improve performance on its own, but it'll allow applications that require it to run. Kinda like drivers that support DirectX 11 instead of DirectX 10.

The drivers installed just fine, but I've lost my monitor rotation capability in the process.

I enabled the rotation options originally via registry settings but I can't locate them now.

Does anyone have these???

TIA
