OpenGL now has official Mesh Shader Support (for Nvidium on AMD/Intel)

Mesh Shaders In The Current Year

There's a mod called Nvidium that makes Minecraft perform better. However, it only worked on NVIDIA cards because only NVIDIA implemented Mesh Shader support on their GPUs. However, Mesh Shaders are now offiically part of the OpenGL spec and so AMD and Intel may soon support it, allowing Nvidium to be used on those GPUs too.

When that support gets added will vary.

Also, fun fact: OpenGL development is pretty much dead, modern stuff should target Vulkan instead (or DirectX or Metal). Despite that, this was merged pretty much exclusively for Nvidium's use.

OpenGL is getting mesh shaders as well, via GL_EXT_mesh_shader
