By merging compatible render passes into native render passes (on platforms like Vulkan, Metal, and DX12), Unity reduces the amount of data transferred between the GPU and system memory, significantly cutting down on memory bandwidth usage. Unity introduced Solid Angle Culling as an optimization to mitigate this overhead.

The payload registers are the mechanism NVIDIA OptiX offers for passing arbitrary data along with a ray, from the caller that traces a ray, and back. The limited size of the payload forced many to use local or even global memory buffers for passing ray data around, which can have a negative impact on performance. NVIDIA OptiX 7.4
