    Is there an estimate on when we expect this feature to arrive? Its already part of the LWRP, so hopefully soon. GPU instancing is required for ECS, so unfortunately I can't upgrade my project to use HDRP yet.

    GPU Instancing for shader graph is working.
    I tested using HDRP 4.8.0 in Unity 2018.3.2f and it's working fine.

    You make your shader as you would.
    You can only enable instancing from a material so when you assign it to a material you will see "Enable GPU Instancing" on that material.

    Hi,

    I use the HDRP Lit shader and enabled this for objects copied and scaled - rotated around, but the batches are still enormous (like 3000) and "saved by batching' metric reports a minus -2000, is this meaning the batching is working ?
