In cmp_fmt(), non-emulated formats with more caps are always preferred. However, Some GPUs, e.g. my Intel Arc A750, and perhaps other Intel GPUs, have better performance with rgba16f, which is an emulated format, than rgba32f, which is non-emulated. This is confirmed by my test.

It is not strange that even though rgba16f is emulated, it performs better in practice. The GPU can do some internal SIMD with 16f.
