Context Compatibility Across GPU Vendors Transitioning a rendering pipeline to the OpenGL Core Profile removes deprecated fixed-function features, requiring a strict reliance on shaders. While a development environment with high-end hardware may successfully initialize an OpenGL 4.6 context, production environments often utilize a wider variety of GPU vendor
Our rendering layer loads shaders authored at different times, some declaring #version 330 core and others written against older GLSL that relies on legacy built-ins and compatibility-profile state. We now create the context explicitly with a version and profile mask, but we are unsure how strict we must be at the boundary between the context profile and the
