Here's yet more #raytracing research!

'Performance Comparison of Bounding Volume Hierarchies for GPU Ray Tracing' empirically compares the most popular methods of addressing BVHs in the context of #GPU ray tracing.

We've updated the FSR2 source with a small fix we found that helped a few more recent game integrations. Look for the v2.1.2 tag on GitHub. Live long and upscale 🖖

We've published our #realtime #globalillumination rendering technique 'GI-1.0' which uses two caching schemes. We use the ray budget efficiently to avoid wasting any computation.

The scene we tested takes only 1.9-3.2ms 👀

Devs:
'Overall, AMD FSR2 is the most stable at all resolutions, with even better denoising than DLSS 2.4.' Good job GPUOpen 👍

Integrated FidelityFX's SSSR to the toy engine, some good results there. Main tweak was to calculate the BRDF in the runtime instead of using the LUT. gpuopen.com/fidelityfx-sss…

Looking for more publications from our research groups? Our ARR Group has a new tech report, explaining the architecture and implementation of geometry and texture streaming in Radeon RX #ProRender .

Find it linked here, alongside others you may have missed:

New! Preprints released by one of our #research groups for #SIGGRAPH Asia 2022:

⭐️ Fused BVH to Ray Trace Level of Detail Meshes (Tech report)
⭐️ Combining GPU Tracing Methods within a Single Ray Query
⭐️ Progressive Material Caching

Check out our brand-new video 'Introduction to #raytracing with Radeon RX Developer Tool Suite'!

This video covers:
- capturing games with RDP
- understanding the raytracing pipeline with RGP
- optimizing your raytracing application with RRA

Huge thanks to AMD for the generous donation of Radeon 6900XT GPUs to the Godot rendering team, with the goal of helping implement support for FSR 2.0 (and eventually raytracing)!

I'll be giving a talk on AMD FSR 2 at Reboot Develop Blue in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Looking forward to meeting some fellow game devs and to finally make the graphics programmers pilgrimage to Sponza! :D

I will be giving a talk titled 'Unreal Engine Profiling & Performance Optimizations' at the 'Reboot Develop Blue' conference, in Dubrovnik, Croatia. 🇭🇷

If you happen to be around, feel free to come by and say hi! I'm always happy to interact with both veterans and students 🙂

Join us on November 3rd as we launch RDNA 3 to the world! More details to come soon! #RDNA3 #AMD

Our team in China recently held another one of their AMD Tech-Sharing Salons, which took place last month in Shanghai.

Want to know more? Read this report written by one of the #GPUOpen China team who was there!

We've just pushed FSR2 v2.1.1 to GitHub, along with its associated prebuilt sample. It fixes a small known issue with frames flagged as reset frames, on AMD GPUs. The underlying driver issue will be fixed soon too

github.com/GPUOpen-Effect… has details. Go forth and upscale 🫡

We recently released our Radeon RX #Raytracing Analyzer, to help you optimize ray tracing performance in your games.

This new blog discusses common RT pitfalls, how to diagnose them with RRA, and how to fix them!

A must-read for any #gamedev using RT: 👇

In case you missed it, FSR 2.1 is here!

Check out this video of it in action on Farming Simulator 22, captured on a Radeon RX 6750 XT. Details: bit.ly/3L8f9LO
