AMD just shared a demo of Work Graphs with the additions of draw calls and mesh nodes, and the results are impressive.
At GDC 2024, AMD just expanded on Microsoft’s recently announced Work Graphs API, and a quick demo shows just how powerful the new tech can be for gaming performance. AMD’s iteration moves draw calls and mesh nodes from the CPU to the GPU, cutting back on the time it takes to execute these tasks. As a result, AMD found that there was a massive performance improvement — rendering time saw a 64% boost — when using Work Graphs with mesh shaders.
Recommended Videos The addition of mesh nodes is a way to simplify rendering complex shapes and scenes through the use of mesh shaders. Essentially, this should limit switching between rendering tasks, streamlining the process and improving efficiency. Draw calls, on the other hand, refer to requests sent to the GPU to render graphics, and processing them separately can also have an impact on performance.
To showcase the improvements, AMD was able to share some “super early numbers” that compare using Work Graphs versus Execute Indirect when using an RX 7900 XTX. Execute Indirect is a feature in modern graphic APIs, such as DirectX 12 and Vulkan, that allows the GPU to perform draw or dispatch commands — essentially, it’s another thing that lets the GPU handle some of the CPU workloads instead of communicating with it for every task.
