Mesh shaders can boost FPS on current graphics cards by up to a massive 1800%
Comments
A while ago we ran an Up For Debate on what the next big tech craze would be after ray tracing, and after some discussion the majority of the Game Debate community decided it would be based on performance, not graphics.
Well, I guess the GD community was right once again, as the current graphics cards (that is, the RTX 30 series from Nvidia and the RX 6000 series from AMD) can seemingly get a massive FPS performance boost of up to 1500% thanks to Mesh Shaders, a rendering technique that may soon become more widely used.

After DirectX 12 Ultimate was announced, we started adding new tests to 3DMark to show how games can benefit from these new features.
Our latest addition is the 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test, a new test that shows how game developers can boost frame rates by using mesh shaders in the graphics pipeline.
What is a mesh shader?
Mesh shaders introduce a new approach to geometry processing that simplifies the graphics pipeline while also giving developers more flexibility and control.
Intel's chief GPU lead, Raja Koduri, has tweeted a screenshot of the company's Xe HPG discrete graphics chip running an upcoming 3DMark Mesh Shader test. The GPU will be launching later this year.
