ps4 uses opengl for rendering. this is fact.

Yes it does but the improvements are about cutting driver overhead not OpenGL overhead. And consoles already have minimal driver overhead because there is a lot less between the software and hardware. Why do you think games like Infamous are possible on a crappy APU that wouldn't even come close to that graphical fidelity on PC.

Sorry, I editted but didn't catch it in time.

Yes I know that ps4 api is already very low in driver overhead, but this is a nice boost nonetheless. It's something :D

I'm interested to see how much (if at all) this will increase performance as well. Though I expect it to be so minimal that we won't really see the difference unless someone tells us that a game profits from the new OGL.
