| [Understanding performance](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/in-urp/understand-performance.md)                          | Understand how the performance of your project depends on the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) features you use or enable, what your scenes contain, and which platforms you target.  |
| [Adjust settings to improve performance](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/in-urp/optimize-for-better-performance.md)    | Adjust settings in the URP asset or the URP Renderer to improve performance.                                                                                                         |
| [Optimizing draw calls](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/in-urp/reduce-draw-calls-urp.md)                               | Techniques for speeding up rendering by reducing the number of drawing commands the CPU sends to the GPU.                                                                            |
| [GPU occlusion culling](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/in-urp/gpu-culling.md)                                         | Use the GPU instead of the CPU to exclude GameObjects from rendering when they're occluded behind other GameObjects.                                                                 |
| [Reduce GPU bandwidth with on-tile rendering](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/in-urp/on-tile-rendering.md)             | Learn about on-tile rendering in URP for tile-based GPUs.                                                                                                                            |
| [Optimize frames by fetching data from the framebuffer](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/in-urp/framebuffer-fetch.md)   | Fetch data that a previous render pass wrote to GPU memory, instead of writing it to a separate texture and reading it back.                                                         |
| [Optimize GPU performance with variable rate shading](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/graphics-performance-profiling/in-urp/variable-rate-shading.md) | Implement variable rate shading to reduce GPU workload while maintaining visual quality in critical screen areas.                                                                    |
