+// There are some artifacts, but we could easily live with them,

+// In case bilinear filtering is required.
+// This is slower than if we had a native float format.
+// Unfortunately, Godot 4 removed support for 2D HDR viewports. They were used

+// have Vulkan. So we had to downgrade performance a bit using a technique from the GLES2 era...
