Odd question about Adreno Drivers on Dolphin

[holaimscott]

Hi, I had a question about one of the biggest implementations on Dolphin a while back...

This change was implemented not so long ago, which helped improve performance on Android devices

5.0-15952 - Disable Primitive Restart on Adreno

I guess my question would be, would this change also help Adreno GPUs on non-android devices (i,e. Windows ARM devices)? Or is this only helping Android builds?

Sorry if my question might b easy but I am not as tech savvy to understand some stuff, thank you!

The change as it was implemented only affects the OpenGL and Vulkan backends. Since Windows on ARM doesn't support either of those APIs, you're not going to notice any effect.

Nobody has tested what would happen if we were to apply the same change to the Direct3D backends.

Ahhh I see, that makes sense...

If anyone in the Dolphin Team was to enable that feature for testing purposes, I would be open to test it out along with other testers. We have Windows ARM devices we could put to the test.
