Cool blog post about Async Compute in Warhammer Total War

Nice little summary of how they used Async Compute to squeeze out that little bit more performance.

EDIT: I wish I didn't have to say this, but please don't turn this into an AMD/NVidia pissing match.

It's a typical usage of A/C in modern engines/games - "outsourcing" postprocessing efects, lightning/AO and particle effects to a compute shader and execute them asynchronously with graphics queue to gain some performance - approx. 2 - 10ms gain per frame (depends on engine and A/C implementation)

Nice, pretty cool stuff thanks for posting. I posted the original 3 blog posts here:

That translates to an 8% performance boost ?
