arb_vertex_array_object

does geforce 6800, gl 2.0 cards support vertex array objects?

Yes.

It is listed on my GeForce 6800 with driver nVidia 195.36.15 under Ubuntu 10.04 x86 when I run glxinfo:

GL_ARB_vertex_array_object

The OpenGL version supported by this driver is 2.1. The GLSL version is 1.20.

PS: GL_ARB_vertex_array_object has been promoted as a core feature in OpenGL 3.0.

Thank you, 6800 will be minimum for my game :wink:
