Is there any way to squeeze more performance out of Graphics and Compute calls from the main thread?

Sounds like you’ve already done most of what is possible.

The only advice that comes to mind is:

  • Make sure graphics jobs are enabled and profile a standalone release build, not a developer build or editor
  • Reduce the number of draw calls with instancing/batching, indirect draw calls and culling (e.g. occlusion culling)
  • Test both the DX11 and DX12 backends.
  • Maybe give the BatchRenderGroup a try (but that’s probably for regular draw calls, not compute)
  • If you are GPU bound, you could maybe use async compute in DX12 but sounds like you are CPU bound

Also take a look at this excellent performance optimization guide from Unity:
