I'm curious. If I want some screen space effects that could happen to use blending should I blend or use textures and do the blending operations in the shader if possible?

Ok, I shut up because someone told me to do so.

if you can use the blending unit, use it; ping-ponging with textures has a notable overhead, while blending is usually built into the pixel write logic, so the computation is virtually for free (you still need the extra bandwidth though).

Thank you.

Here's a random image:

alpha males don't blend very good.

Blending on modem hardware? wtf! Still, it'll be a mind-blowing wild if you pull it off!

will it blend?

Not if it is mine it won't. But I'll gladly make you all a milkshake.

will it de-blend?
