Summary
Modern graphics APIs such as DX12 provide improved CPU utilization via multi-threaded recording and submission of command buffers. This is enabled by the Graphics Jobs system.
When using Graphics Jobs, the main thread processes and queues intermediate drawing commands, which the rendering thread converts into graphics API calls by launching worker threads that record and submit GPU command buffers to queue.
Graphics Jobs are now supported in Editor when targeting DX12, in order to improve scene-view and play mode rendering performance, resulting in a better authoring experience.
