What is better for performance? Parallax mapping or nanite mesh with a lot of polys?

nanite tesselation, which performs better

NANITE performs WORSE than simply optimizing your scene.

Nanite performance is not better than LODS [TEST RESULTS]. Fix your documentation Epic. You're ruining games.

Nanite Virtualized Geometry in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation FIX IT already. Nanite should generally be enabled wherever possible. Any Static Mesh that has it enabled will typically render faster. The part where it renders faster is true(Sometimes). But depending on what other features you will use with a Nanite scene. It will make your scene MUCH slower than a scene using automatic and/or maybe 1 minute of Manual optimized game focused LODs. How about we stop devs from b…

And stupidly, we are limited to Nanite when comes to certain features.

NEW UE5.4+ feedback: Start working on and investing in PERFORMANCE innovations for actual GAMES.

Vote the Topic if you already agree with the statement. 6.5k views and only 66 votes. Come on guys? The votes matter and as 2nd most voted feedback thread, it will send a shockwave if we hit #1. There is several problems everyone needs fixed with Unreal’s current path. UE5.4 is an opportunity here and so far, we are losing as they continue to focus on blurry upscalers and unperformant Nanite shaders.
