OK, 112 shaders here...
my intention was not to start a discussion about numbers. There will be a just a performance benefit unless the program runs with software emulation.Less work for the CPU -> more work for the GPU
LDPE is currently CPU bound, which is a pity on modern hardware.
I don't know if I said it before, the program will detect automatically if your PC meets the requirements.
If yes, it will use the new implementation, otherwise it will fallback to the old implementation.
