Description
Hello,
it is more a question for now (but it could become a feature request)
Does fossilize compute shaders for every graphics card detected ?
I recently plugged a 2nd graphics card (radeon HD 6450) in addition to my main RX 5700 XT (so both are AMD).
(I use this old card only for a few games that are best displayed with the analog VGA output.)
Since that moment, I noticed that steam is computing shaders for games already processed : is it doing the whole library again for the 2nd graphics card ?
If that's the case, it would be nice to have more control and prevent shadercache duplicates.
