EEVEE-Next performes less on integrated GPUs then discrete GPUs.
Most shaders have been analyzed, but there will always be bottlenecks
related to architectural differences.
In order to make EEVEE-Next run smooth on integrated GPUs this change
will implement viewport pixel size option similar to Cycles. The main difference
is that the samples will still be weighted and up-sampled to the final film
resolution. This makes the pixels not look squared in the viewport but will
resolve to something close to the results without up-scaling.
This improves the performance especially on integrated GPUs. The improvement
for discrete GPUs are less noticeable. See here the stats when playing
`rain_restaurant.blend` back on a RAPHAEL_MENDOCINO iGPU.
| Pixel size | Frames per second |
|------------|-------------------|
| 1x | 0.25 FPS |
| 2x | 4.14 FPS |
| 4x | 6.90 FPS |
| 8x | 9.95 FPS |
