@rianflo Explicit packed 16-bit works on AMD Vulkan Vega and up. I typically get up to 30% improvement on ALU bound stuff. Lots of occupancy wins. I don't use {HLSL, RenderDoc, Reflection, RADV, or VS/PS}. All constants are packed and aliased as UINT, so no coversion overheads.

@NOTimothyLottes Oh I know the benefits. Just no simple clear way to write it in GLSL for vulkan.

@rianflo Sure there is. CAS/FSR1/etc all shipped with fantastic GLSL versions using 16-bit packed math (I wrote those), all which at the time got fantastic code generation using AMD's drivers.

@NOTimothyLottes What GLSL extension did you use?

@NOTimothyLottes Oh wait, you're saying you wrote the fp16 math manually?

@rianflo Explicit packed 16-bit code. FSR1 example: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX-FSR/blob/master/ffx-fsr/ffx_fsr1.h - There are different 'F' (32-bit) and 'H' and 'Hx2' (packed 16-bit) functions.
