Testing what happens if add clip(discard)<\/a>, remove transparency and remove color tint from default Sprite Shader..
\nJust wanted to see if there is big difference or not,
\nbut seems like no huge difference on PC (asus laptop, gtx970m), unless you have thousands of sprites on screen (*will test on mobile later)<\/p>\n

This thread<\/a> says in mobile devices it might be worse performance to use Clip()..<\/p>\n
