I have heard many times that if statements in shaders slow down the gpu massively. But I also heard that texture samples are very expensive.
Which one is more endurable? Which one is less impactful?
I am asking, because I need to decide on if I should multiply a value by 0, or put an if statement.
@Kissaki I saw this post on Mastodon where it only contains the title and a link to the Lemmy post (which didn’t work for me), I didn’t realize I was actually commenting on a Lemmy post by replying on Mastodon haha
