CamilleLaVey 3a6ac6e418 [video_core] Implementation on ASTC HDR formats + Vulkan fixes (#4190 ) Based on the register of the ASTC implementation from Ameerj (yuzu), currently our conversion from ASTC on Desktop tends to duplicates the unpacking of ASTC converted textures, leading to bad performance; since there are some graphical effects that actually access on the band of 32bits (RGAF32) than the common 16bits (RGAF16) from our ASTC path decoding method, which commonly uses ARGB8 (degradation -> LDR) transformation to reduce the memory cost per conversion; meanwhile it could actually provide initially better performance; the engine tended to get stalled when this writted stage effect got skipped; mostly because CPU tends to look for an unimplemented texture/ format query (from which doesn't exist on our MaxwellToVK); unlike what's commonly believed HDR was a format to write enviroment effects even before their appearance on video output (since Switch doesn't have HDR, only SDR on certain engines). The test result on this PR showed games like Astral Chain and other heavy reliant on ASTC decoding improved their performance and stability by around 15%; meanwhile could it be tied to a hardware gain, it's clearly a gain for direct access on what's required on most games.
