Yes, I completely agree. Injecting white noise is a pretty terrible way to avoid banding, given there’s better dithering options available. The blur should be a shader, and the dithering could be done within the shader as long as it’s not error diffusion dithering. I don’t really see why there would be a big perf difference. I think even pattern dithering with a small kernel would give better results than white noise.
