youtube Render Parallelization - UE 5.4 may finally bring some balance...

...balance to a powerful system that has a top-end GPU and a fast multi-core CPU. This is a theme close to my heart as it addresses a fundamental imbalance in a fresh gaming rig build re. GPU and CPU. With other tech such as r_BAR assisting closer cooperation between CPU and GPU already, render parallelization by UE 5.4+ is a great step by a leading gaming engine developer.

My eyes are huge right now. For whatever reasons exist I am under the impression that our hardware (current/backlog of up to 3ish years even) is far more capable than the softwares are implementing (OS, games, etc). 

 

I sincerely hope that extra attention is given to utilizing CPU's efficiently enough that we stop seeing huge disparity in usage over time (insert whatever game you see it happen on). 

 

The one game that I can see scale properly (I don't think it's UE5) at least via testing is BF2042. Scaling CPU cores from 8-16 shows incredible improvement in average/low FPS when increasing the CPU thread availability. However, in COD this doesn't scale similarly. In CS2, it scales only to a point. 

It's really interesting to me. And I know very little in the minutiae that drives all the work (let's call it the internal digital magic), but like those of us here, I do know well the hardware capabilities/how to tweak them.
