This page provides links to both general release drivers that support OpenGL 4.6, and developer beta drivers that support upcoming OpenGL features.
I was only using the generic windows d3d nvidia driver at the time though (see below for 'correct' driver). I also think the current renderer is only using OpenGL 2.1. Apparently they're due an update to 4.1, which would be great.

- New:
OpenGL message 'hardware does not meet minimum specifications'
I have seen this Event Log Message:
Your hardware configuration does not meet minimum specifications needed to run the application. The application must close.
Nvidia Opengl Driver Error Code 3
What does it mean?
The most common cause for this issue is that the application was unable to continue due to hardware limitations. The workload the application sent to the Graphics Card could not be broken into small enough pieces to be processed.

How can this be fixed?
Verify you are running the most recent driver for your application. Drivers certified by Professional Software vendors can be found here http://www.nvidia.com/page/partner_certified_drivers.html. If you application is not listed, install the most recent driver for your graphics board from www.nvidia.com/drivers. You should also check with your application provider for any updates or patches to your application.

You can also try manipulating a smaller image as you may be running out of video memory with extremely large images. If none of these work, you likely need a more powerful Graphics Card to handle this application.
