They are about their drivers working for most uses and it being relatively stable for most uses. Qualcomm does not give a crap about power users. They're very very very separated from users. They just make SoCs to sell to phone manufacturers. Nvidia seems to be fairly power user friendly from recent history at least.

Clearly that has changed (not that it was ever a hardware issue, just business). Still, it's good that the adreno 400 series wasn't left behind like the 300 series was.
I've told you long ago about hidden es3.2 on qc driver that was there since N-DP1.
qc SDK page is outdated, never maintained/edited they haven't even updated A530 references (to get the idea just look how they're managing dev forums) and finally talks were happening everywhere about entire 4xx series should be getting Vulkan and es3.2 eventually

The patch seems pretty easy to port to dolphin, but as I don't have an affected device, I can't test it. PRs are welcome of course

Well I must admit you were right, poking on GFXBench revealed all Adreno 4xx nexus devices have ES 3.2 on N. I wonder if the marshmallow dev drivers support ES3.2 on adreno 4, would be nice to flash on devices that won't get N.

I'll gladly test if someone puts in a PR

So would I. I have my Exynos S7 right next to me.
Finding testers is hardly an issue.

So apply this patch (feel free to ask me on IRC to help you for this step), compile dolphin, and have fun. This isn't as hard
