OpenGL on new mac mini?

[VideoBeagle]

This might not even be the right question to ask, or the right way to phrase it...but do the new Mac Minis with the intel chip, have OpenGl support?

If yes, anyone have any performance info?

This is a screenshot from the OpenGL Driver Monitor App in the Developer Tools Folder.
I don't know anything about OpenGL and whether it is enabled yes or no, maybe it will tell you more than I.

Edit: And a complete Text Output file.

Well it's there...Thanks for the info!

Have you used your mini for any 3d graphic stuff? programs or games?

No, not really, don't play many games nor do 3D stuff.

I play a few games that use OpenGL: Oolite, Armagedtron, and they run perfectly well.
I also use a few hobbyist 3D apps -- Inventor Fusion, Sweet Home 3D, 3D Toolbox, Sketchup.
All fine for moderate work.

Thanks for the reply!

All modern Macs have OpenGL support. Some may have better performance than others, but even Intel Integrated Graphics can take advantage of OpenGL.

Know that, as a general rule, Intel graphics cards aren't the best. Haswell may change that, but no Macs use that CPU yet.
