How to use Foveated Rendering in VRChat to Boost Performance After EAC! | Benchmarking and Analysis
10/26/2023 EDIT THIS NO LONGER WORKS WITH VRCHAT HAVING UPDATED TO UNITY 2022 NOW
This was a pretty big discovery and so I really had to fast track a video covering this topic because I know people just love VRChat.
This one was a little bit tricky to try and do a comparative benchmark for due to the very nature of VRChat so I did my best.
