How to get OpenGL 4.3+ support using nvidia drivers?

[jessey-git]

Recently a project I contribute to has moved to requiring a minimum of OpenGL 4.3. Unfortunately I only seem able to get up to 4.2 using nvidia drivers, even though the hardware is capable of full 4.6:

Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
    Vendor: Microsoft Corporation (0xffffffff)
    Device: D3D12 (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 with Max-Q Design) (0xffffffff)
    Version: 22.2.5
    Accelerated: yes
    Video memory: 24394MB
    Unified memory: no
    Preferred profile: core (0x1)
    Max core profile version: 4.2
    Max compat profile version: 4.2
    Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
    Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.1
OpenGL vendor string: Microsoft Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: D3D12 (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 with Max-Q Design)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.2 (Core Profile) Mesa 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.3
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.20

Do I have any options forward here besides using LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 which "works" but is so slow it might as well not.

Gpu acceleration in WSL2 is done by the d3d12 driver from mesa and is limited to OpenGL 4.2 for now. You can follow the progress here:
