WebGL texImage2D vs texSubImage2D

Benchmark created by Brian Chirls on

Preparation HTML

<script>
  var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
  canvas.width = 640;
  canvas.height = 360;
  
  var img = new Image();
  img.src = canvas.toDataURL();
  
  var gl = canvas.getContext('experimental-webgl');
  var tex = gl.createTexture();
  gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, tex);
  
  img.onload = function() {
    console.log(img.width, img.height);
    gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.RGBA, gl.RGBA, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, img);
  };
</script>
