I was being rhetorical... thanks. Runtime can expose new features of sdk so it can affect efficiency
Which once again ISN'T THE DRIVER. Driver =/= runtime. So yes runtime/SDK can affect performance. Nobody has said otherwise. The driver though isn't the runtime.
Runtime is included with driver... why are you trying to argue they're not the same when I never said that. All I was pointing out is the runtime can affect efficiency. Is it not already obvious it's not the same lol
