To enable this, set the ‘Capture Type’ to ‘One-shot [Beta]’ While TraceRays/DispatchRays has been the common way to initiate ray generation, it’s now possible to ray trace directly from your compute shaders using DXR1.1 Finally, we’ve added the Nsight HUD to Windows Vulkan applications in all frame debugging capture states.

While the development studio has been busy rolling out patches, many still see the error code surfacing mid-game moments after playing. Sometimes systems are not equipped to render the most resource-heavy parts of the game, and as a result, the game flatlines immediately. Cyberpunk 2077 has flatlined.”

Numbers are using debug (numbers on release are lower, but when I started optimizing, Godot had problems running on release, so it's difficult to compare). Re-written most shaders to reduce VGPR usage, thus improve occupancy. Did general optimization in most shaders to improve performance. These test do culling on 10k objects.
