![]() The former due to it issuing the most draw calls out of any area in Fallout 4 (11,000 draw calls), and the latter due to it issuing many draw calls (8,000) while also having NPCs interacting with each other.Īnd here are the results, from an array of systems. But that's not part of the game in and of itself, so instead, I picked two particularly problematic areas: Corvega, and Diamond City. The worst offender is in player-made settlements, where the draw calls can reach 20,000 in number. In Fallout 4, there are areas where your framerate would plummet. If we take the above scene, and somehow swapped Oblivion's renderer for a deferred one, we'd see, for example, 2,030 draw calls should those three NPCs have their torches out.īut even deferred rendering is not enough these days. ![]() Luckily, game developers invented Deferred Rendering, where only the objects a light affects are redrawn. So if the game would only issue 2,000 draw calls, it would now be making 8,000 draw calls should three NPCs equip their illuminating torches. This is due to the game using Forward Rendering, where the entire scene is redrawn for as many times as there are active lights. ![]() And this isn't a new thing as far back as 2006 with Oblivion, performance would utterly die during raining weather, as NPCs would take out their light-casting torches. The most significant hit to framerates in large games, open world games especially, is caused by excessive draw call counts. ![]()
