Honestly, the biggest practical difference I’ve seen in real-time testing comes down to how each handles the mixer thread under load, not the feature lists. Wwise’s Work Bins model lets you parallelize DSP across multiple cores, which matters a lot when you’re running 32+ simultaneous voices plus adaptive music stems during a chaotic teamfight. FMOD’s channel mixer is leaner on CPU head

Great topic — BVH traversal is where most of the ray tracing budget actually disappears, and a lot of people underestimate how much the build quality matters for runtime cost. If you’re targeting hardware ray tracing on anything Turing or newer, you want to remember that the RT cores (or AMD’s Ray Tracing Accelerator on RDNA2+) only do the primitive work — ray-AABB intersection and stack push/pop — while the shading still happens on the CUDA/stream processors. So the real optimization is minimizing how many nodes you hand off. Two things I’ve seen bite
