"Earlier this month we started once again our annual Linux Graphics Survey in which we poll our readers about their choices and opinions concerning graphics cards, display drivers, and other graphics / X.Org related features of the Linux desktop. While this survey is still going on through the end of September -- so you still have time to participate -- here are the results from the first 6,300 people to submit their responses. We are publishing the results so far since there is the X Developers' Summit this week in Toulouse and some of these findings may prove to be useful during those discussions."

"Khronos said the new software delivers speedier performance, improved graphics quality, and flexibility enhancements, including tessellation and double precision shaders. In addition, OpenGL 4.0 plays nice with OpenCL, another visual computing standard by Khronos designed to offload certain processor-intensive tasks to the GPU. Other OpenGL 4.0 features include drawing of data generated by OpenGL, or external APIs such as OpenCL, without CPU intervention, shader subroutines for significantly increased programming flexibility, and more."
