Radeon ProRender 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the core rendering engine that provides improved rendering speed, reduced GPU memory usage, better multi-GPU scaling, and faster convergence compared to the previous version. New features include a more flexible shading system with procedural textures and user-defined shaders, as well as out-of-core geometry support on all platforms to render large scenes using less memory. A sneak peek of Radeon ProRender 2.0 was demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2019.
