            When a sampler object is bound to a texture unit, its state supersedes that of
            the texture object bound to that texture unit. If the sampler name zero is bound to
            a texture unit, the currently bound texture's sampler state becomes active. A single
            sampler object may be bound to multiple texture units simultaneously.
