The behavior was verified on Dobie to be correct.
The code needs to be ported to SW renderer too to
improve rendering on SW side.
Current PR will fix plenty of games on HW renderer
that had/have zbuffer issues before.
v2. Set DepthMask to the maximum the current depth format allows.
Will properly clamp for 16bit and 24bit formats.
v3. gl: Fix uniform buffer upload/cache for VSConstantBuffer.
- Always enable sw colclip for BLEND_NO_BAR.
Free blending and it's faster than standard hdr algo when Blending
Accuracy is disabled.
- Enable sw colclip for Safe FBMASK SW emulated.
instead of hdr mode with accumulation blend so we don't use a mix of sw
and hw blending. It is more accurate.
Test case: Superman Shadows of Apokolips, fixes shadows when blending is enabled.
- Use const to get rid of some warnings.
A short summary how d3d option behaves compared to gl.
None d3d-> behaves the same
Basic d3d-> even less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Medium d3d -> less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
High d3d -> 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Note: Medium and High options are mostly intended for debug use.
It works on games such as Fifa Street 1 and 2 (character and stage
rendering), mission impossible operation surma (shadow rendering).
It needs at least Basic level of blending enabled on d3d11.
Proof of concept. It should provide a huge speedup when accurate
blending is enabled for tri-ace / Jak / R&C (shadow rendering).
See #2894
Need PR#2892
v2: Add const + comment to explain that code isn't ideal.
Single triangle draw can now hit the tex_is_fb path.
Primitive Overlap will return no overlap for single primitive (triangle).
Ratchet and Clank, Jak, tri-Ace games.
It should improve shadow rendering.
Idea by Gregory.
Don't set DATE true when Accurate Date is off, DATE is true anyway so
no need to set it again.
Don't call full barrier for DATE 45 at the date selection, do it
at the shader call check. It's the same, plus we avoid extra checks.
1. Allow hrd colclip to also run on the unsupported
cases which should be pretty rare.
2. Remove colclip from high sw blending.
3. Disable the hdr colclip shader which may not be
actually required to run.
Idea by Gregory
Use a function to check UserHacks for all variables in GSState.cpp
instead of checking each variable individually.
Get rid of UserHacks_HPO local variables in GSRendererOGL/DX and use the
member variable m_userHacks_HPO instead, we don't need duplicates that
do the same thing.
Add ResetStates call at the beginning of GSRendererDX to match gl
behavior.
Idea is to disable multiple features in 1 option to avoid gui clutter.
Unscale Point and Line:
This partially reverts PR #2710 restoring Unscale Point and Line but as a disable option.
It can help Xenosaga games.
GS Memory clearning:
This disables GS memory clearing to be done on the CPU, by default both gpu and cpu do memory clearing
which is more accurate.
It can help Kingdom Hearts games.
Remove GSCrc.h include in GSRendererHW and GSRendererDX11, file is
already included in GSState.h.
Remove GSRenderer.h include from renderers except Null and CL, file already
included in TextureCache hw/sw.
Remove resource.h include from GSRendererDX11, already included in GSDevice11.
Remove GSOsdManager.h from GSDeviceOGL, already included in GSDevice
It fixes a bunch of shadow/transparency issues.
Fast DATE doesn't rely on the gui option and is always on.
Confirmed fixed issues: Persona 3 shadows on d3d11,
Digital Devil Saga Transparency d3d9/11.
Fast accurate date works the same/similar to OpenGL.
Confirmed fixed issues: DBZ BT3 ground shadows, Fifa Street 1 shadows
on all d3d renders as well.
Also this option doesn't cause other transparency issues like the
Alpha Stencil hack.
Note: If Alpha Stencil is enabled Fast Date and Fast Accurate Date will
be disabled.
Note2: Full Accurate Date is not implemented so the code fallbacks to
Fast mode instead.

This will probably be the last feature d3d9 gets before getting purged.
Suggested by Gregory.
Change the checkbox to a drop down list Off, Fast, Full.
Off and Full do the same as before, the Fast option is new. Most of the
time users don't actually need full Accurate Date so why not reduce that
cost and use a fast mode instead, plus it can also be used on a gpu with
a limited driver. Also change the default value to Fast instead of Off.
Always enable unscale point and line hack on upscaled resolutions, and
purge the gui option.
It was discussed in the past with Gregoy that it can be enabled without
causing any issues which will be beneficial to getting rid of 1 less
option and fixing a bunch of fmv issues without relying on a gui toggle.
This pull request is for the pending reorganization of the folder structure on GSdx,
making it better organized and easier to work with.
Also remove unused GSTextureFX.cpp file.
