Maintaining a high+stable framerate is not only about input latency and gameplay. It also improves image stability and quality by increasing temporal coherence, e.g. TAA, SSR, SSDO converging faster - reducing blur, disocclusion artefacts + ghosting, thus creating a better image.

useful #gametech fact: if you want to downsample an image in a compute shader, you can do this within the same shader using subgroup reduction / lane swizzling. This also works with mip chains in a single pass and is usually much faster than multiple passes or using LDS.

weird #gametech fact: The RSX (PS3 GPU) didn't have PS constant registers, so the fastest way to set these was to memcpy the value directly into the shader microcode right before execution, usually done from a parallel SPU job. This was called "fragment patching".

useful #gametech fact: Fullscreen clears (or fast clear eliminates) come with a cost. On HW with dedicated DMA engines, you can do (optimally nearly free) async RT clears by kicking an asynchronous dma memory fill (like a GPU memcpy) early in frame. (1/2)

One weird thing I’ve noticed lately is an aversion of “next-gen” exclusives as if launching a game exclusively for a next-gen machine is “anti-consumer”. This is how it’s worked before - Mario 64 didn’t exist on Super NES and it was a great thing.

If you're interested in how we render decals in The Surge, make sure to visit my talk at #digitaldragons2019 on 2pm in hall C!

If you're doing depth-prepass rendering and depth-equal testing, flag the VS position output as 'precise', at least on more complicated shaders like vegetation. This prevents the driver from reordering instructions which might lead to imprecisions of the rasterized positions.

So my favorite pub still exists and didn't change the toilet decoration. Great!

I got my #MyFirstGamesJob back in 2006 at a small unknown company called @deck13_de while I was still a student. Then I stayed with them for the last 13 years (sic!) and never regretted it.

@fizzychicken Good points overall. Maybe a controversial one: decline in future engine/low-level programming expertise and education. Most people using unreal/unity already in edu and existing engine programmers getting sucked up by a few companies.

useful #gametech fact: modern shader compilers have vastly different code generation, so sometimes it helps to merely restructure the code to yield better performance due to different handling of register lifetimes. I hear some people calling this "compiler DJ'ing"
