Flagging instances or geometries as opaque allows uninterrupted hardware intersection search and prevents invocation of the any-hit shader. Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. This feature becomes available in HLSL Shader Model 6.6.
