Opengl 2.1 Download For Mac
- The only way to get OpenGL 2.1 in a Windows guest is to install basic 3D (not WDDM), in safe mode, in an XP, Vista or Win7 guest. There is no other way to get accelerated OpenGL of any description. Bugtracker ticket 12048 was the original report of the problem.

GpuTest for OSX, GiMark test (geometry instancing)
The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7. I am wondering why Mac OSX only supports up to version 2.1 of Open Gl? The current version is up to 4.1 Is it safe to say that with Lion coming out in the future that we will see Apple support 4.1 then? It is frustrating to see a 'Windows' system thrash my Mac in terms of 'gaming' performance. The version is always 2.1, unlike the reported 3.2. My OS has been upgraded to 10.9, and OpenGL version is still 2.1. It still cannot compile GLSL 3.3, while Apple says it supports 4.1. Install OpenGL OpenGL software runtime is included as part of operating system. So you only need to download this if you think your copy is somehow missing. The OpenGL libraries are also available as the self-extracting archive file from the Microsoft. OpenGL libraries and header files are. opengl32.lib. glu32.lib. gl.h. glu.h 2.
Technically, you cannot get a (windowed) OpenGL 3.2 context programming purely in C on OS X. You have to use part of Cocoa (an Objective-C framework) called NSOpenGL; AGL (deprecated C-based API) as well as the really old X server implementation (XQuartz) are perpetually limited to OpenGL 2.1.
Here is a minor update of the OSX version of GpuTest. I added some command line parameters for those who use GpuTest without the GUI and I updated a bit the user interface (GUI). I will publish later all command line parameters in a separate post.This time I created the zip file directly in OSX and I hope the executable flag +x will be still there when you will unzip GpuTest. Otherwise just set the permission +x to GpuTest_GUI.app and to GpuTest_GUI.app/Contents/Resources/gputest.app (GpuTest without GUI).
