Some figures from a presentation I gave on Radiance Cascades recently. Covering the theory, intuition, and implementation in 2D and 3D for GI. Plus notes on future research.

Binomial has built the first practical in-loop deblocking system for GPU texture compression - and it's shipping soon. It works on every device that supports ASTC (i.e. billions). No new API's or hardware needed. Fully compatible with mipmapping/filtering.

On some GPUs (eg GCN/RDNA) 24bit integer muls/mads are 4x faster than 32bit ones. 24bit instructions are not exposed in HLSL/GLSL but you can encourage the compiler to use the 24bit intrinsics by zeroing the 8 most significant bits, if the range allows it, for faster integer ops.

Game developer Thomas Grové from Studio Interrupt recreated the same horror game in both Unity and Godot to compare the engines side by side, and the results were surprisingly one-sided.

The project, a retro-style horror game called “Eyes Never Wake,” was built in both engines under the same conditions.

According to Grové, Godot performed better in most areas affecting everyday development.

>The engine started much faster, scripts compiled dramatically quicker, exports finished in seconds instead of minutes, and the install size was only a tiny fraction of Unity’s.

>Godot launched in about 13 seconds versus Unity’s 80 seconds, and exporting took around 2 seconds in Godot compared to nearly 15 minutes in Unity.

>The developer also found that Godot delivered stronger lighting and atmosphere, showing how much the engine’s visuals have improved.

@Lammjr @GPUOpen They have to create the AI models using the GPU architecture they are meant to run on, which might take months. Using machine learning to make a model takes time and energy (in terms of electricity).

AI models are just probabilistic systems backed by data points. nothing special; they can't and will never replace human consciousness; they can only imitate the living phase of that experience.

@highyieldYT @AMDRadeon It wouldn't work unless it's in the GPU pipeline, and it would significantly increase latency unless it's done in screen space, as Microsoft does on Windows 11, unless the AI chip were integrated into the GPU.

As a lifelong gamer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to push gaming experiences forward across CPUs, GPUs, software, and games.

My team and I have been working hard to evolve @AMD FSR 4 and bring it to more cards.

We power over 1 billion gaming devices worldwide. It’s a responsibility we care deeply about.

🎮 This July, RDNA 3 players will experience FSR Upscaling 4.1, delivering sharper visuals and smoother gameplay than ever before.

I’m grateful to our fans. Your enthusiasm and ideas inspire us to keep pushing gaming forward.

FSR Upscaling 4.1 on RDNA 3 will be ready out of the box for Radeon 7000 Series players in over 300 supported games at launch.

And for our RDNA 2 players, we have something exciting coming in early 2027. FSR Upscaling 4.1 will be coming to your cards as well, bringing sharper visuals and smoother gameplay to even more gamers.

We cannot wait to show you what is next. Stay tuned 🚀

This indie dev is making a stealth-focused immersive sim inspired by Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock.

- No generative AI used anywhere
- Revolutionary 3D pixel art graphics
- Plan daring heists and escape with priceless artifacts

It's called Project Shadowglass. Wow!

meshoptimizer 1.1 is out!

Featuring two new major features, meshlet topology compression and opacity micromaps, as well as a few smaller features and improvements! Meshlet codec is heavily optimized for CPU decompression and output can be compressed further with Zstandard; opacity micromap rasterizer outputs hardware ready data representation and is fast and easy to integrate.

Boosts and repository stars are welcome!
