== Differences from deferred renderer ==
The differences with deferred is that clustered can be implemented in both forward and deferred renderers. This also allows the usage of sharper, but more [[expensive]] [[Anti-aliasing#MSAA|MSAA]] anti-aliasing (which are harder to implement, poor results with lower performance or simply unfeasible on deferred renderer).

Clustered shading is a lighting technique that allows dynamic lights to be rendered with little to no performance impact, similar to a Deferred renderer.

A more in-depth description of clustered shading and documentation on how to utilize it in supported games can be found on the Strata Source Wiki.
