2025.01 - The Six Exotic "Profiling Toys"
The Six Exotic "Profiling Toys": You are probably losing time in a performance firefighting loop: the game stutters, you patch one script, and the hitch comes back somewhere else.
Unity Performance Blog
Practical articles on CPU, GPU, memory and engineering process optimization.
2024.12 - Frame Debugger Mastery & Maybe Render Graph?
Frame Debugger Mastery & Maybe Render Graph?: If your profiler says “drawing is expensive” and you still cannot see why, you are debugging blind. Frame Debugger is where you stop guessing and inspect the exact draw-event chain behind the bottleneck.
2024.11 - Let AI Help You Optimize Performance
Let AI Help You Optimize Performance: When you are stuck on a performance bottleneck, brute force is expensive and slow. This module shows you how to use AI as an always-available technical assistant without surrendering engineering judgment.
Budget-Friendly Serialization & Deserialization
Choosing the wrong serialization & deserialization technology inexperienced devs tell you about will only bring you pain
2024.10 - Motion Vectors - Get Away With Cheap Upscaling& More
Motion Vectors - Get Away With Cheap Upscaling& More: If you are chasing cheap upscaling without understanding motion vectors, you are inviting ghosting, smear, and late-stage visual panic. Motion vectors are not optional once temporal techniques enter your pipeline.
2024.09 - Risk-Reward of AppSw (Application SpaceWarp)
Risk-Reward of AppSw (Application SpaceWarp): If your Quest target is hovering near missed-frame territory, Application SpaceWarp can feel like a lifeline or a visual disaster, depending on how you use it. This module gives you the risk-reward profile before you bet your build.
2024.08 - The Utility of XR Composition Layers
The Utility of XR Composition Layers: If your VR build stutters during loading or your UI turns unreadable after render-scale cuts, you are paying a comfort tax that players feel immediately. XR composition layers are how you stop that from becoming a launch blocker.
Achieve Faster CPU Rendering with Render Modes & Graphics Jobs
Exploit the right Render Mode tech for your Unity project
2024.07 - From Zero to Perfect CPU Scaling
From Zero to Perfect CPU Scaling: When your simulation scales badly, adding content pushes you straight into a frame-time cliff. This module shows you exactly how that bottleneck grows and how to break it without hand-wavy advice.
2024.06 - Budget-Friendly Serialization & Deserialization
Budget-Friendly Serialization & Deserialization: Nothing destroys trust like a save-system disaster. If your serialization path is slow, allocation-heavy, or migration-hostile, you are building a retention leak into your game.
2024.05 - Texture Arrays — The Forgotten Tool
Texture Arrays — The Forgotten Tool: If your material workflow keeps triggering state-change chaos, you are paying a silent bottleneck every frame. Texture arrays are the forgotten lever that lets you stop swapping texture objects like a panic response.
2024.04 - RenderMode's & Graphics Jobs
RenderMode's & Graphics Jobs: If rendering is eating half your frame budget on one thread, you are one content drop away from a hitch storm. This is where render modes stop being “engine trivia” and become a shipping decision.
