Variable Rate Shading is a new DirectX12 API giving developers fine-grained control over shading frequency, enabling significant frame time savings on modern GPUs. This talk presents a deep dive on VRS and the algorithms used to drive shading rate. Included are integration details, tips and optimizations. Learn how to take VRS to the next level, by exploiting the VRS signal with a new deferred lighting technique, Sparse Lighting.
