Serious FPS drops in dojo rooms with dynamic lighting and high shadow quality

Recommended Posts

I've noticed that in my dojo, I get massive FPS drops if dynamic lighting is on. These drops worsen considerably at medium and high shadow quality, with frames dipping down to 45 from 65+ with dynamic lighting on and shadow quality low, to around 15 with dynamic lighting on and shadow quality high.

Some system info: On Windows 10, Intel i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz, Intel HD 4600 Graphics, 8MB RAM.

Not seeing a dedicated GPU. If the iGPU is the main driver then this is to be expected. Shadows are bandwidth heavy, and dynamic lights are GPU heavy. Neither of which intels integrated solution particularly excel in.

As an example: Assuming you are using DDR3-1600, you have a bandwidth of roughly 20GB/s; This value is then shared with the CPU and GPU.  A dedicated GPU (GDDR5) can go through to 200+GB/s
