- QUAD_STRIP evaluates to TRIANGLE_STRIP in memory. The memory layout is identical.
- The only difference between the two modes would be the primitive_ID but that doesnt matter on RSX
- Its worth noting that results will be different between the two modes if input vertices are non-coplanar for every set of N verts
Games like Tales of Vesperia seem to be using a random memory allocator with very low collision chance.
This means objects are very unlikely to be reused in such games leading to pile-up
rsx/vk/shaders_cache: Move vp control mask to dynamic state
rsx/vk/gl: adds a shader cache for GL. Also Separates pipeline storage for each backend
rsx: Add more texture state variables to the cache
- Updates vulkan to use GPU vertex processing
- Rewrites vulkan to buffer entire frames and present when first available to avoid stalls
- Move more state into dynamic descriptors to reduce progam cache misses; Fix render pass conflicts before texture access
- Discards incomplete cb at destruction to avoid refs to destroyed objects
- Move set_viewport to the uninterruptible block before drawing in case cb is switched before we're ready
- Manage frame contexts separately for easier async frame management
- Avoid wasteful create-destroy cycles when sampling rtts
- Significant gains from greatly reduced CPU work
- Also reorders command submission in end() to improve throughput
- Refactors most of the vertex buffer handling
- All vertex processing is moved GPU side
* Fix always-true conditions in sceNp module
* gl_render_targets: useless check on unsigned variable, possible bug
* fixed UB in crypto utility functions
* copy-paste error in vk::init_default_resources
* pass strings by const ref
* Dont copy vectors. Make sure copies are not needed because functions are used in a multi-threaded context.
* Rework vertex attribute binding for vulkan. Allows always providing a buffer view to the pipeline even if the game has the attribute disabled as long as it is consumed by the vertex shader.
- Improvements to framebuffer usage; Avoid creating new resources every frame
- Handle null fragment program properly
- Collect vertex upload statistics
- vk: Pre-initialize 'unused' varying registers in the vertex shader in case it gets matched with a fs that consumes it
-- Fixes a crash about fog_c not being declared
gl/dx12/vk: Handle null fragment program
- cleanup - use yield semantic instead of sleep(0) as yield is more cross-platform
-- sleep(0) is a windows specific scheduler hint
- vk: Do not select first available format when choosing a swapchain format
- gl/vk: Ignore rendering zero sized framebuffers/scissors
- fp: Re-enable range clamp on fp16 registers; fix fx12 clamping [-2, 2]
