    extensions

    i have a program which requires several open gl extensions. where would I go to get these specific extensions(GL_ARB_texture_compression,
    GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc,WGL_EXT_swap_contr ol).
    The program (Battlecrat 1942) recomends that I update my video drivers, but i have the newewst driver avaliable for my geforce fx 5200.

    Re: extensions

    You do not have latest driver for your card, else these extensions would be supported :

    Run Glinfo to check that driver vendor is NVidia (and not snail-accelerated microsoft) :
    http://delphi3d.net/hardware/glinfo2.zip

    go for http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

    Also I can't seem to find any drivers for the fx 5200 listed anywhere on Nvidia's site.

    Re: extensions

    You see the full name of your card is Nvidia geforce FX 5200

    it is available at the last link I gave you.

    Select "Graphics driver"/"GeForce and TNT2"/<your OS>

    Have fun.
