Use Compressed Textures : Textured images can be saved with lower resolutions while compressed formats such as ASTC and DXT1 and DXT5 reduce memory usage without quality reduction. Texture Atlasing combines multiple textures into one atlas to lower the number of texture switches that occur.

For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. At the end of the day, the use case where Vulkan and DirectX12 make the most sense is when you have hundreds of thousands of objects, which are all different (different geometry, textures, etc.), Shader abstraction. Ability to bundle shaders inside materials.

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. Or a shader can perform atomic additions on half-precision floating-point numbers in global memory. x, u1 mov r3.yz,
