A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 4.3 or higher is required error while Opening

I am having NVDIA GTX 1650 Ti. I also updated the driver but still it showing this error
“A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 4.3 or higher is required
Installing the latest driver for you graphics card might resolve the issue”.

How to resolve this. I also have CUDA installed, will it be a problem.
Guide me to get through this

More infos are needed (hardware, which motherboard, which cpu, which gpu drivers are installed etc).
It might be your CPUs IGPU. Disabling that in bios can help.

it could be that you are only using the mainboard hdmi/dvi/DP output and your gpu is idle.

It might be a missing nvidia driver or a wrong driver or an outdated one…,
Try to install the drivers from the official site.

you can also go into the nvidia control panel and set up your gpu for opengl rendering.

Welcome :tada:

You are asking how to update a driver ??

You may have to elaborate this to get a more suited answer.

Your graphics card is Opengl 4.6.

Are you using blender 4.0.2 version? If you have a problem with blender 4.0 or higher, you can use blender 3.6.7 to see if it’s a problem with the graphics card.

Please provide me with more information.

Hey

I got the same error wich is wierd because yesterday i was using blender 4.2 and it worked perfectally and I opened it today but then I got the error.
I also don’t know much about computer hardware but i do know that i’m using my school laptop (i’m 15) wich is a:

HP probook 445 g8

processor: AMD Ryzen 3 5400U

I tried updating to blender 4.3 because in the error it said something about OpenGL 4.3 so it seemed logical… but this didn’t work.
I don’t know what to do :frowning: . That why im posting here…

You’ll need to update your AMD driver (hope you have administrator rights to your school laptop).

Yeah inderdeed.
I solved it with chatgpt and they said the same and it works.
Thanks tho!

You can cheat blender to run, even in old graphics card, I believe… try this command on console (linux)

MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=430 MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.3FC blender

This worked for me on intel HD 4000 graphics card, blender 4.3.2.

Perhaps, Intel HD Graphics 4000 is supported by OpenGL4.3 but was not supported by blender due to driver issues. :thinking:
Linux may be supported in a different way, but it won’t work with Windows.

If it’s a software problem, there might be a solution.
However, hardware-unsupported issues are not resolved in any way.

I encountered the same problem on both my AMD and Intel laptops. I resolved it by:

  • Disabling my graphics driver in Device Manager
  • and then restarting the system (ensuring the driver remained disabled).

I don’t know the exact cause of the problem, but this solution worked for me.
