Coherent mappings have a lower overhead and less GL codes.
So enables coherent mapping by default for all drivers.
Both Qualcomm and ARM performs very bad with explicit flushing, so this change helps them as well.
AFAIK there was one GPU generation which was slower on coherent mapping: nvidia tesla
So Geforce 200 and 300 series should be tested with this PR before merging.
As this was last tested many years ago, this issue might have been fixed as well.
Those GPUs are close to 10 years old and not supported any more by nvidia.
Using 8-bit integer math here lead to precision loss for depth copies,
which broke various effects in games, e.g. lens flare in MK:DD.
It's unlikely the console implements this as a floating-point multiply
(fixed-point perhaps), but since we have the float round trip in our
EFB2RAM shaders anyway, it's not going to make things any worse. If we
do rewrite our shaders to use integer math completely, then it might be
worth switching this conversion back to integers.
However, the range of the values (format) should be known, or we should
expand all values out to 24-bits first.
This excludes the second argument from template deduction.
Otherwise, it is required to manually cast the second argument to
the ConfigInfo type (because implicit conversions won't work).
e.g. to set the value for a ConfigInfo<std::string> from a string
literal, you'd need a ugly `std::string("yourstring")`.
Also move it to MathUtils where it belongs with the rest of the
power-of-two functions. This gets rid of pollution of the current scope
of any translation unit with b<value> macros that aren't intended to be
used directly.
Also makes y_scale a dynamic parameter for EFB copies, as it doesn't
make sense to keep it as part of the uid, otherwise we're generating
redundant shaders.
RE4's brightness screen is actually very good for spotting these.
Bug 1: Colors at the end of the scanlines are clamped, instead of a black
border
Bug 2: U and V color channels share coordinates, instead of being offset
by a pixel.
Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
Depending on which constructor is invoked, m_id or m_compute_program_id
can end up in an uninitialized state. We should ensure that the object
is completely initialized to something deterministic regardless of the
constructor taken.
