Large Open-World Kid Kite Demo

There is a huge difference between a tech demo and a game, and tech demo was going for quality at distance. Every rock and tree was 3d photoscanned to create both the meshes and the high res textures, which is something that has not really been used in any realtime game with dynamic lighting so far. Some other features that contribute to performance are:

• DFAO
• Dynamic GI using Heightfields (coming in 4.8)
• Ray-Traced Distance Field Soft Shadows (4.8)
• the new 2 sided foliage shader (4.7)
• A new kind of motion blur (4.8)
• SSR for translucency (4.8)

And possibly even more we aren’t already aware of. The Dynamic GI alone is likely the single most performance hungry in the demo.

On top of all that demo was meant to push the hardware to the , meaning there are likely quite a few performance optimizations that could be used but weren’t since the frame rate was within their target FPS for the demo.

Until we get our hands on the project it will be difficult to know what was done and why, and how it can be improved. I personally have no doubt they will release the demo with performance optimizations. After all there is only one person with a Titan X so far, I highly doubt it will be required to use the demo.

Technical demo != game

hopefully the upcoming 4.8 version will be optimized as much as possible for lower configurations , not has a titan X .
