Caps Viewer?

Can anyone tell me where I can find a caps viewer for OpenGL ? I would like to see which OGL extensions are available in various drivers.

Must I have the driver installed to be able to see the caps or can I just tell the program to read the extensions directly from the dll?

Is there a caps viewer for DX allowing me to view the supported caps without having the driver installed, in other words directly from the dll?

There are many such apps, here's one:

You'll have to have the driver installed. But OpenGL drivers can be hot-swapped (almost), so you can just overwrite the file in the system32 dir and the new driver will be loaded the next time you start an OpenGL app. No need to reboot.
