rip #amd #vega implicit primitive dicard? sounds like the hardware was built to support, but implementation was too complex or not worth the potential gains? this was definitely an exciting feature of vega I hoped would get more love as drivers matured. looks like explicit discard is possible, but would take developer attention and given Vega's current market share, *mutters, trailing off*
