Recommended Use a dedicated thread for resource creation to avoid hidden OS costs and blocking frame rendering, as this can result in costly OS paging work. Structuring uploads this way avoids adding hidden overhead to frame rendering. Be wary of CPU overhead directly related to geometric complexity for full builds.

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) added softening capability to the sharpness slider, and provided a workaround for packaged builds not initializing DLSS on d3d11 devices. RTXGI is supported on any DXR-enabled GPU, and is an ideal starting point to bring the benefits of ray tracing to your existing tools, knowledge, and capabilities.

NVIDIA DLSS Plugin for UE4 DLSS is a deep learning super resolution network that boosts frame rates by rendering fewer pixels and then using AI to construct sharp, higher resolution images. DLSS pairs perfectly with computationally intensive rendering algorithms such as real-time ray tracing. The new NVIDIA UE 4.25

USD is an open-scene description with APIs for describing, composing, simulating, and collaborating within 3D worlds. As USD already provides the functions needed for building pipelines, such as compositions, asset resolvers, file format plug-ins, and custom schemas, we adapted it to fit our pipeline. Of course we do.

As a result, running with a Debug build of an application may result in less optimal GPU workloads, for instance. Even for a Release build, the driver background optimizations may be turned on and off dynamically from frame to frame. Continue to render frames until wantMoreFrames is returned as false.
