Question Does Gpu Instancing have a limit ???

I have a simple scene with trees and I want to use Gpu Instancing. This option is powerful but no one mentioned is there a limit (Like object count or something). I assume it is limitless but I want to make sure

 

I was just yesterday peeking into this subject. I could render a 48x48x48 cube of cubes using Graphics.RenderMeshInstanced at 90 fps (just using DrawMeshNow it was drawn at 8 fps and it took FBX Exporter about 15 minutes to save these 100k cubes to a file).

I found another user’s test project where quads are drawn using a compute shader which threw a „something above 65535“ error when drawing just over 4 million quads. I think those limits are reasonably high.

There‘s also an example without ComputeBuffer and with MaterialPropertyBlocks which had a limit of 1023 meshes in one call. This also ran a lot slower compared to ComputeBuffer, too, since data needs to be transferred to the GPU whereas ComputeBuffer creates the data with and on the GPU to begin with. However I don‘t know whether this works as well on limited hardware (mobile, VR, anything by Nintendo).
