100% you can bet an overall win my throttling certain workloads. Quite a common optimisation on console

Path of Exile 2. Elden Ring. Star Wars Outlaws.

I wouldn’t like to speculate

That doesn’t look like VRS exactly. VRS on console is 2x2 as the lowest rate. Those tiles are much larger than 2 pixels.

Machine Games did an outstanding job here with IDTech and got a huge lift from VRS on Xbox

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reviewed on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. How does the base Sony console measure up to Xbox Series X - and to what extent does MachineGames tap into the Pro's extra horsepower? youtu.be/DqMOBz-yFR8

That is an impressive uplift from just frustum culling, large meshes I guess. We recommend EI over AS, but YMMV.

Thanks for sharing, very interesting. I’d be interested in your results on AMD HW

Martin Fuller @martinfuller.bsky.social · Feb 28

I’m actually surprised that someone paying to support DF would do this…. maybe I’m naive…..

Martin Fuller @martinfuller.bsky.social · Feb 28

Awesome! Great to work with you Nico. Keep it up :)

This is pretty amazing to see directly from Epic - a primer about the problem with stuttering in Unreal Engine: specifically about shaders compilation ctutters mainly. Really honest, and proactive, and even has a history lesson in there about the beginnings of DX12 and why DX11 was different. Cool!
