Starting on 4.11 we added the feature for ShaderCompileWorker (SCW) to be able to debug the call to the platform compiler; the command line is: PathToGeneratedUsfFile -directcompile -format=ShaderFormat -ShaderType -entry=EntryPoint {plus platform specific switches}, For example, D:\UE4\Samples\Games\TappyChicken\Saved\ShaderDebugInfo\PCD3D_SM5\M_Egg\LocalVF\BPPSFNoLMPolicy\BasePassPixelShader.usf -format=PCD3D_SM5 -ps -entry=Main.
This means that keeping your geometry in check is an important factor in meeting your performance targets. and your project’s DefaultEngine.ini This example reduces frame time by 0.2ms (measured on Radeon 5700XT at 4K1). At AMD, we maintain multiple teams with the primary focus of evaluating the performance of specific game titles or game engines on AMD hardware. ; Expand the scene render target to the largest requested size (most memory, least re-allocation stalls). Break down all identified invocations in Renderdoc using the same strategies outlined in Step 2.

If you are emitting RGP perf markers, you can quickly navigate to the marker that we are investigating by searching for “ PostProcessHistogramReduce Many third-party tools exist, but the Radeon Developer Panel that comes with the Radeon GPU Profiler has a Clocks tab which can be used to set a stable clock on AMD RDNA GPUs, as shown below: Getting back to reducing variability in UE4, you may find that some things do not obey the fixed random seed from the -deterministic command-line argument. We can also theorize an additional possible benefit to this refactor. Clicking the Capture counters button opens a dialog which includes an AMD dropdown, from which we can select cache hit and miss counters for all cache levels.

Thank you! Before beginning any evaluation in RGP, ensure that UE4 is configured to emit RGP frame markers. Since movable lights are very expensive, we can optimize excess lights by reducing radius or turning off static shadowing in Light->Cast Shadows. Tweaking UE4 commands and settings (click the link for a whole list of 'em) in the Engine.ini file has sorta become a trend these days, as it allows us to change graphics settings as well as other things that DTG doesn't have coded in as options in the settings menu. We use optional third-party analytics cookies to understand how you use GitHub.com so we can build better products. During development with Unreal Engine, as with any real-time application development, it is important to profile your application to ensure performance requirements are being met. During inspection, we noted that the Pixel Shader is largely sampling pre-generated textures and averaging the results into the output render target. That’s it! You may have to set. RenderDoc also shows wireframe.
AMD GPUs organize work into related groups called wavefronts. We will use both RGP and Renderdoc in this evaluation. This command line can also be easily copied if you enabled the r.DumpShaderDebugWorkerCommandLine=1 cvar, which will dump a file called DirectCompile.txt next to the generated USF file.
After searching for hours on google and the forums; I found the solution. Since it appears to be affecting more than one version of UE4, my guess is that it may have saved the CVar settings to your local user settings, or else if you are using the same project each time it fails then it may be right in the project settings. You signed in with another tab or window. In this case, we are in the M_Egg material: Shaders are grouped in maps ordered by vertex factories (which mostly end up corresponding to a mesh/component type); in this case you have the Local Vertex Factory: Finally, the next path is the permutation of features; because we had enabled r.DumpShaderDebugShortNames=1 earlier, the names are compacted (to reduce path length). 2. ; Default: 0. We use essential cookies to perform essential website functions, e.g. This section presents general advice for optimization your content and shaders in UE4.

Sometimes a slightly worse but significantly faster answer is a good tradeoff, especially for video games. In stat gpu we see both Shadow Depths and Lights->ShadowedLights costing us frame time. Here we can see a total of 262,144 unique pixel shader invocations, which aligns with our expectations from inspecting the event in Renderdoc: every pixel in a 64x64x64 3D texture should have been output, and 64x64x64 = 262,144.

We haven’t touched any of the shaders, so we don’t expect problems there.
Depending on whether the bottleneck lies on the CPU or GPU, we may go in orthogonal directions with our performance analysis. and ProfileGPU When profiling the GPU, you want CPU performance to be fast enough to stay out of the way during profiling. This is how you make the particles deterministic in just 2 clicks: 1- Right click on the emitter of particles and then click on “Browse to Asset”, 2- Once the emitter asset gets selected in the Content Browser, right click on it and select “Convert To Seeded”. If you have a small object in the scene which takes up a small pixel area on the screen and that shows as red (high density), then it could be optimized. Static analysis may be required depending on your use case and target audience. Some examples: For the GUI version, set r.ProfileGPU.ShowUI UE4 crashed immediately and so I restarted the engine, crashes immediately. The Pixel Shader selects an appropriate slice within both input and output textures based on the Instance ID of the current draw.

Thank you! Before beginning any evaluation in RGP, ensure that UE4 is configured to emit RGP frame markers. Since movable lights are very expensive, we can optimize excess lights by reducing radius or turning off static shadowing in Light->Cast Shadows. Tweaking UE4 commands and settings (click the link for a whole list of 'em) in the Engine.ini file has sorta become a trend these days, as it allows us to change graphics settings as well as other things that DTG doesn't have coded in as options in the settings menu. We use optional third-party analytics cookies to understand how you use GitHub.com so we can build better products. During development with Unreal Engine, as with any real-time application development, it is important to profile your application to ensure performance requirements are being met. During inspection, we noted that the Pixel Shader is largely sampling pre-generated textures and averaging the results into the output render target. That’s it! You may have to set. RenderDoc also shows wireframe.
AMD GPUs organize work into related groups called wavefronts. We will use both RGP and Renderdoc in this evaluation. This command line can also be easily copied if you enabled the r.DumpShaderDebugWorkerCommandLine=1 cvar, which will dump a file called DirectCompile.txt next to the generated USF file.
After searching for hours on google and the forums; I found the solution. Since it appears to be affecting more than one version of UE4, my guess is that it may have saved the CVar settings to your local user settings, or else if you are using the same project each time it fails then it may be right in the project settings. You signed in with another tab or window. In this case, we are in the M_Egg material: Shaders are grouped in maps ordered by vertex factories (which mostly end up corresponding to a mesh/component type); in this case you have the Local Vertex Factory: Finally, the next path is the permutation of features; because we had enabled r.DumpShaderDebugShortNames=1 earlier, the names are compacted (to reduce path length). 2. ; Default: 0. We use essential cookies to perform essential website functions, e.g. This section presents general advice for optimization your content and shaders in UE4. This section covers some built-in tools and workflows to help optimize GPU execution in UE4. This talk discusses how subsurface scattering is implemented in Unreal Engine’s forward renderer. ... (if using SunBeam's unlocker, make sure the IGCSInjector.ini file included with it is also extracted there) Download the console launcher from the Files section, and extract the UE4ConsoleLaunch.exe into the Win64 folder. Sometimes a slightly worse but significantly faster answer is a good tradeoff, especially for video games. In stat gpu we see both Shadow Depths and Lights->ShadowedLights costing us frame time. Here we can see a total of 262,144 unique pixel shader invocations, which aligns with our expectations from inspecting the event in Renderdoc: every pixel in a 64x64x64 3D texture should have been output, and 64x64x64 = 262,144. Thank you, Will try this out when I get home. Useful for detecting hitches in otherwise smooth gameplay. ConsoleVariables.ini: [Startup] ; Uncomment to get detailed logs on shader compiles and the opportunity to retry on errors r.ShaderDevelopmentMode=1 After taking another performance capture with RDP and going back to the Event Timings view in RGP: The time taken for the dispatch is 7us – for a whopping 96% performance uplift! Next to the Capture counters button in the Performance Counter Viewer tab is a button that says Sync Views.
We can inspect this information in a Renderdoc capture of our scene by selecting Window > Performance Counter Viewer to open the associated tab. Turn on r.ShaderDevelopmentMode in \Engine\Config\ConsoleVariables.ini. With the optimization plan in place, it’s time to implement. We haven’t touched any of the shaders, so we don’t expect problems there.
Depending on whether the bottleneck lies on the CPU or GPU, we may go in orthogonal directions with our performance analysis. and ProfileGPU When profiling the GPU, you want CPU performance to be fast enough to stay out of the way during profiling. This is how you make the particles deterministic in just 2 clicks: 1- Right click on the emitter of particles and then click on “Browse to Asset”, 2- Once the emitter asset gets selected in the Content Browser, right click on it and select “Convert To Seeded”. If you have a small object in the scene which takes up a small pixel area on the screen and that shows as red (high density), then it could be optimized. Static analysis may be required depending on your use case and target audience. Some examples: For the GUI version, set r.ProfileGPU.ShowUI UE4 crashed immediately and so I restarted the engine, crashes immediately. The Pixel Shader selects an appropriate slice within both input and output textures based on the Instance ID of the current draw.
Static Shadowmaps can only be allowed 4 contributing lights per texel.

That macro is producing the debug markers we see in both Renderdoc and RGP; we’ve found our entry point.
The wavefront mode for this event is wave64, and so under ideal circumstances there should be 64 threads per wavefront; we only realized 56 of those threads in the average wavefront during this event. This is likely to improve the benefits yielded by spatial caching on our memory accesses, and we expect we may see improvement in overall cache utilization as a result. A Player Start actor can be used to spawn directly to a specific location upon launch. As a supplement to this, we recommend Events->Wavefront occupancy and Overview->Most expensive events views in RGP to get a summary of where your frame time is going.

This ensures that any UE4 code wrapped in a SCOPED_DRAW_EVENT ; Console variables also can be set in engine ini files (e.g. The reason for this performance gain is executing shorter loops, leveraging LDS for reduction and using load instead of sample (image loads go through a fast path on RDNA). However, reducing draw calls is a balancing act.

Since it appears to be affecting more than one version of UE4, my guess is that it may have saved the CVar settings to your local user settings, or else if you are using the same project each time it fails then it may be right in the project settings. You signed in with another tab or window. In this case, we are in the M_Egg material: Shaders are grouped in maps ordered by vertex factories (which mostly end up corresponding to a mesh/component type); in this case you have the Local Vertex Factory: Finally, the next path is the permutation of features; because we had enabled r.DumpShaderDebugShortNames=1 earlier, the names are compacted (to reduce path length). 2. ; Default: 0. We use essential cookies to perform essential website functions, e.g. This section presents general advice for optimization your content and shaders in UE4. This section covers some built-in tools and workflows to help optimize GPU execution in UE4. This talk discusses how subsurface scattering is implemented in Unreal Engine’s forward renderer. ... (if using SunBeam's unlocker, make sure the IGCSInjector.ini file included with it is also extracted there) Download the console launcher from the Files section, and extract the UE4ConsoleLaunch.exe into the Win64 folder. Sometimes a slightly worse but significantly faster answer is a good tradeoff, especially for video games. In stat gpu we see both Shadow Depths and Lights->ShadowedLights costing us frame time. Here we can see a total of 262,144 unique pixel shader invocations, which aligns with our expectations from inspecting the event in Renderdoc: every pixel in a 64x64x64 3D texture should have been output, and 64x64x64 = 262,144. Thank you, Will try this out when I get home. Useful for detecting hitches in otherwise smooth gameplay. ConsoleVariables.ini: [Startup] ; Uncomment to get detailed logs on shader compiles and the opportunity to retry on errors r.ShaderDevelopmentMode=1 After taking another performance capture with RDP and going back to the Event Timings view in RGP: The time taken for the dispatch is 7us – for a whopping 96% performance uplift! Next to the Capture counters button in the Performance Counter Viewer tab is a button that says Sync Views.
We can inspect this information in a Renderdoc capture of our scene by selecting Window > Performance Counter Viewer to open the associated tab. Turn on r.ShaderDevelopmentMode in \Engine\Config\ConsoleVariables.ini. With the optimization plan in place, it’s time to implement. We haven’t touched any of the shaders, so we don’t expect problems there.
Depending on whether the bottleneck lies on the CPU or GPU, we may go in orthogonal directions with our performance analysis. and ProfileGPU When profiling the GPU, you want CPU performance to be fast enough to stay out of the way during profiling. This is how you make the particles deterministic in just 2 clicks: 1- Right click on the emitter of particles and then click on “Browse to Asset”, 2- Once the emitter asset gets selected in the Content Browser, right click on it and select “Convert To Seeded”. If you have a small object in the scene which takes up a small pixel area on the screen and that shows as red (high density), then it could be optimized. Static analysis may be required depending on your use case and target audience. Some examples: For the GUI version, set r.ProfileGPU.ShowUI UE4 crashed immediately and so I restarted the engine, crashes immediately. The Pixel Shader selects an appropriate slice within both input and output textures based on the Instance ID of the current draw.
Static Shadowmaps can only be allowed 4 contributing lights per texel.
2 is the aforementioned configuration.
Note: If you are using Niagara particles, look for “Deterministic Random Number Generation in Niagara” in the official UE4.22 release page: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/unreal-engine-4-22-released. For an overview of the different modes, please see the official documentation: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/UI/LevelEditor/Viewports/ViewModes/index.html. We need to rebuild the game, cook the content, etc. If you have the patch and want to reproduce the results in this section, first use the console to disable the optimization: r.PostProcess.HistogramReduce.UseCS 0.
