The AMD unified shader architecture that debuted in the Xbox 360 ushered in a new era for the graphics processing unit (GPU).

Wednesday’s agreement will cover bluebird’s Lyfgenia and Vertex’s CRISPR Therapeutics-partnered Casgevy. These gene therapies were given back-to-back SCD approvals in December 2023, but uptake has ...

WARNING: Output of vertex shader 'zMults' not read by fragment shader ERROR: Implementation limit of 16 active fragment shader samplers (e.g., maximum number of supported image units) exceeded, ...

The problem for Nvidia was that ATi had got to Shader Model 2 long before the launch of GeForce FX. The ATi Radeon 9700 had eight pixel processors and four vertex processors.

There's still hope (for some) Besides the clearly poorly performing vertex shader pipeline, Alan Wake 2 isn't a poorly optimised game.

Strict mesh shader support, according to the developer, came up after the team experienced “lots of perfs issues and bugs” with a vertex shader path, leading the development team to officially ...

Where the first GPUs to support vertex and pixel shaders were rapidly made obsolete once games started to heavily favour later shader models, something like a Radeon R9 290 or a GeForce GTX 970 ...

Vertex, geometry, hull, and domain shaders are all about handling the vertices of triangles – creating and shaping the 3D world before it gets colored in.

In the end, the performance cost was negligible, because Wilde’s colleagues at Valve realized they could store data in the shader’s vertex color.

Mesh shader no longer uses the Input Assembler block, which was previously responsible for fetching index and vertex data from memory. Instead, shader code is free to read whatever data is needed ...
