Six configurations of the same ten items. Each masked layer costs the GPU a separate render pass per card, and the texture's <code>mix-blend-mode: multiply</code> costs a backdrop read, so every section below removes one or more of those.

~~To profile: scroll through one section~~, ~~'''pause about two seconds'''~~, ~~then move~~ to the ~~next. The pauses segment~~ the ~~recording so each section can be measured separately from~~ a single ~~capture~~.

Sections 2, 2b and 2c are three ways of dropping the wear mask; they are visual candidates, not separate things to measure. Once one is chosen the rest come out and the survivor gets folded into a single low-graphics configuration to profile as a whole.
