* Direct State Access (DSA) – object accessors enable state to be queried and modified without binding objects to contexts, for increased application and middleware efficiency and flexibility.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/08/opengl-4-5-released-with-one-of-direct3ds-best-features/|title=OpenGL 4.5 released—with one of Direct3D's best features|work=Ars Technica|date=August 11, 2014|access-date=April 17, 2015}}</ref>
* Flush Control – applications can control flushing of pending commands before context switching – enabling high-performance multithreaded applications;
* Robustness – providing a secure platform for applications such as WebGL browsers, including preventing a GPU reset affecting any other running applications;
* OpenGL ES 3.1 API and shader compatibility – to enable the easy development and execution of the latest OpenGL ES applications on desktop systems.
