PHP OpCache CACHE_DRIVER / APC

We are currently using CACHE_DRIVER=file in our .env which means we are using the Laravel Default Caching. We also have PHP Opcache up:

Funnily enough Forge states it is not active in its Dashboard.. Odd.

Will Bytecode precompiling with OpCache take place with CACHE_DRIVER=file? Will it work either way?
