Noticeable quality loss on texture captured using Graphics.Blit vs Shader output directly to a mesh
When you draw a piece of geometry with a shader directly, the GPU evaluates that shader once for every screen pixel the geometry covers. (Or more, if you're using SSAA) Every single one of those ...

SDL2 Draw scene to texture. SDL2 RenderTexture like SFML
Afaik this function could be of help:
