Hi all,
recently I wanted to use a brand new Topaz image processing program on my PC.
Could not because of an OPENGL error saying OpenGL 3.3+ needed !
As you can see on screenshot, the version detected is much earlier.
My question is : Must I update my GPU card or do I need to do something else ?
If it is the GPU, how to check that another one I could buy on Internet would be fine ?
Thanks !
Notes :
(I tried Mali cube sorfware ... run time error)
Here is some PC detail :

It's always worth trying newer drivers, but the Radeon 5700 was released in 2009, so its unlikely to be getting much in the way of new driver support. Most vendors will list the level of OpenGL support on the product pages.
