I have been reading a lot of debate on a new feature that will be available in the new version of the game engine Unity 5.4 - called GPU instancing. I understand the importance of instancing in general, both in terms of saving memory and draw calls.However, even after doing some reading, I still couldn't understand what exactly are the differences between GPU instancing and non-GPU instancing - and, more importantly, where the alleged GPU advantages in terms of performance come from in comparison to standard instancing.Thanks for your knowledge and for any references.
What are the differences between GPU instancing and standard instancing?
