Game development presentations - a useful reference

[Scott_Arm]

Not a game development presentation exactly, but a really nice blog post about cpu benchmarking, cpu utilization in games.

GFFE: G-buffer Free Frame Extrapolation for Low-latency Real-time Rendering | Songyin Wu

Real-time rendering has been embracing ever-demanding effects, such as ray tracing. However, rendering such effects in high resolution and high frame rate remains challenging. Frame extrapolation methods, which do not introduce additional latency as opposed to frame interpolation methods such as...

Tiny Glade!

Wtf ... No geometry deforming. All of the bricks, planks, roof tiles etc are all individual rendered objects.

Wonder if Intel will actually push this. Until NVIDIA decides to push extrapolation or frameless rendering themselves they likely won't take kindly to devs doing it, which will make it hard to get it into games. Maybe if Valve launches Index 2 they could be convinced to show-piece it? VR has the greatest need.

Could they push ExtraSS as their engine-integrated solution to devs while introducing GFFE as a driver-level feature like AMD Fluid Motion Frames?

Edit: After reading further, probably not.

Note that we use the term "G-buffer free" to refer to the absence of G-buffers for extrapolated frames only. The depth buffer and motion vectors for rendered frames are used since they are usually readily available in the rendering engine without additional cost

The game needs to render a slightly larger viewport to cover expected de-occluded pixels along the edges, also you want the view matrix for the frames and for the game engine to give the view matrix for the desired extrapolated frame based on real time user input (no need to dead reckon that, reading input is cheap to do at high FPS). It needs very little extra work in the game engine, but it does need a little.

PS. they say camera pose instead of view matrix, same difference.
