One of the biggest drawbacks with the way games currently render 3D scenes is that there’s still a surprising amount of back and forth communication required between the CPU and GPU. This overhead can slow down graphics card processing in a multitude of ways. However, a new technique demonstrated by AMD has managed to massively reduce this, boosting performance by 1.64x with without any extra processing power required.

The technique was demonstrated on an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the best graphics card you can currently buy for workloads without ray tracing, but this technique doesn’t require such a high-end GPU. As such, it could see performance increases in many games for a multitude of GPUs.
