|---|---|---|---|
| Target | Legacy projects | Mobile to high-end consoles/PCs | AAA, automotive, architectural |
| Customization | Limited | Scriptable, extensible via Renderer Features | Scriptable, Custom Passes, Full Frame Settings |
| Rendering Paths | Forward, Deferred | Forward, Forward+, Deferred | Forward, Deferred (hybrid tile/cluster) |
| Shader Authoring | ShaderLab + Surface Shaders | Shader Graph (recommended), HLSL | Shader Graph (recommended), HLSL |
| SRP Batcher | No | Yes | Yes |
| Ray Tracing | No | No | Yes (DXR) |
| Volumetrics | No | No | Yes (fog, clouds) |
| Anti-Aliasing | MSAA | FXAA, SMAA, TAA, MSAA | FXAA, SMAA, TAA, MSAA |
| Platforms | All | All (scalable) | High-end (DX11/12, Metal, Vulkan) |
| GPU Requirement | Standard | Standard | Compute shader capable |
