Improving performance for your ray tracing game is challenging, most notably, in the construction of effective acceleration structures and visibility into the ray tracing pipeline. Existing techniques do not apply; new ways of thinking and new tools are required.
If you find yourself asking the following questions, this presentation is for you:
• How does the use of ray tracing impact my frame?
• What is the performance of my ray tracing pipelines?
• What is the relative cost of my ray generation, traversal, any hit, closest hit, and miss shaders?
• How can I optimize an acceleration structure to reduce intersection cost?
• Did I apply the correct flags and transform onto my geometry?
In this presentation, we will demonstrate how you can use the Radeonâ„¢ GPU Profiler and a new tool, the Radeonâ„¢ Raytracing Analyzer, to illuminate the common performance-related issues when developing games.
