Check OpenGL Driver

This article demonstrates how to check the OpenGL driver version installed on your PC. OpenGL 3.0 support is required for Zivid Studio; for the SDK, only for the visualization (rendering).

Select your OS:

  1. Download OpenGL Extensions Viewer.

  2. Install it, launch it, and check the OpenGL version:

In case the version is below 3.0, you need to install the latest GPU driver:

Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard, then execute the following commands:

sudo apt install mesa-utils
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"

This will print the OpenGL version.

In case the version is below 3.0, you need to install the latest GPU driver.
