Ps4 uses OpenGL The war rages on. If you want to get a developer’s attention, all you need to do is start dropping whole numbers. Offer something that’s not 1.2 times better — but two or three times better — you know you’ve got them. That’s the good news we teamed up with AMD and Intel to deliver at this week’s Game Developer Conference in San Francisco.
With OpenGL, an open, vendor-neutral standard, developers can get significantly better performance – up to 1.3 times. But with a little tuning, they can get 7 to 15 times more performance. That’s a figure that will make any developer sit up and listen. Better still: the techniques presented apply to all major vendors and are suitable for use across multiple platforms. And they brought demos, showing what these improvements mean on real world systems. That’s because OpenGL can cut through the driver overhead that has been a frustrating reality for game developers since the beginning of the PC game industry. On desktop systems, driver overhead can decrease frame rate. On mobile devices, however, driver overhead is even more insidious, robbing both battery life and frame rate. - See more at: http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2014/03/20/opengl-gdc2014/#sthash.nnEFvhBX.dpufIf you want to get a developer’s attention, all you need to do is start dropping whole numbers.

AMD’s Graham Sellers, Intel’s Tim Foley, and our own Cass Everitt and John McDonald appeared on the same panel to explain the high-level concepts available in today’s OpenGL implementations that reduce driver overhead by up to 10x or more.
7-15 times sounds way off... There won't be an increase in performance by that amount - perhaps in some situations where iowait or driver-crap limits throughput but we won't see 7 times better fps for sure.
But nice to see amd, intel and MS are adressing the overhead problems.
