On a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, the work graph lights the scene at 1920 x 1080 within 0.8 ms to 0.95 ms, whereas the uber shader dispatch technique takes 0.98 ms.

So roughly a 20% improvement in lighting performance in this particular sample. Hopefully developers can squeeze more out of it.

GPU support as of now:

Geforce 3000 and 4000 series RDNA3

RDNA2 support may become available in Q2 2024 (AMD is silent about that).

No word from Intel. Keeping fingers crossed!
