One of the most interesting sentences you can find in these docs is the following: “Bring console optimizations to PC” (GPUOpen – Unlocking Game Development with Open Source – Pag 48). What does this means? It means that if a Software House will want to port its game from PS4/XB1 to Windows 10, it could “copy-paste” a lot of GCN-native code. Also, this means that the same Software House will have to tweak its code to work properly with other uArchs … an expensive and long work! What is the solution if you are a lazy developer? 1. Use GameWorks or 2. Don’t optimize.
