OpenGL 4.5 - Nintonito - 11-19-2014
As of the 5.0 lollipop update this week, the shield tablt now reports the GL 4.5 profile. Does this mean anything for dolphin, on any platform?
RE: OpenGL 4.5 - Sonicadvance1 - 11-19-2014
Dolphin only takes advantage of up to OpenGL 4.4 at the moment.
So the only thing that GL 4.5 drivers currently brings is potential speed improvements due to improvements in the video driver itself. Although considering we aren't GPU driver bound at all on Android the chance of getting FPS improvements due to that is low.
There are potential features that we can use in this version that we aren't using yet, but we haven't implemented anything for it.
