Interesting indeed. There’s very little information out their on mesh shaders. Hope it’s not a repeat of geometry shaders. UE5 makes me wonder how important they even are.

Not every game will use UE5, so yeah mesh shaders are still going to be important.
And Nanite uses it to accelerate the raster path for bigger triangles.
no games use sampler feedback, though Ubisoft Massive is looking into it
Alan Wake 2 uses mesh shaders
Capcom's RE Engine will be updated to use it
UE5 uses mesh shaders when triangles are large enough
Avatar uses mesh shaders on consoles
Who is this, for which team is he making a game?Some Xbox specific optimizations, though, imo this stuff probably belongs in the D3D thread.

A shame about SFS. I'm guessing "next gen" games don't really push the memory requirements that we thought they would. The PS5 SSD speed didn't get fully utilized either.
Mesh shaders is nice tho. Will read up on those games.
SFS is linked to tiled resources to function. There is a long history of why tiled resources aren’t used. I agree it would have been a nice to have if it worked well, unfortunately I don’t see it coming.
