I've found the reason for it is that the window is not opaque (setOpaque:NO). So are all non-opaque windows ineligible for VRAM backing? I don't see any documentation on window attribute requirements for it, only GPU requirements.

I have a custom shaped window that refuses to use VRAM as its backing
buffer.  It's a relatively small borderless window with a semi
transparent rounded rect shape.  Are there certain things that will
prevent a window from using VRAM on supported hardware?  Other stock
windows do this just fine.  This window is also set as a child window
for a larger one; the custom window is used as an informational
popup.  The parent window is a stock sheet which is not in VRAM (which
I don't mind) if that matters.
