Differences between Karma CPU & XPU renders 2021年11月30日14:15

The second issue is visible in the textured road images above and appears to be significant texture filtering artefacts, not connected to the resolution of the source textures (btw I checked and the images are 2048px anyway ) This issue is still present when using lights other than dome. (Also just tried using 'Simplified Shading' and its still there)
So I was just testing this myself and using a tiled texture I seeing the same problem with XPU and not with CPU. However, if you use a USD Preview Surface material instead of a MaterialX Standard Surface the issue looks a little more improved (in my test) but definitely not as good as the CPU result.

I know the 'XPU is darker' issue is already logged, but I'm trying to figure out why Karma CPU vs XPU renders look so different in other ways.
An easy example - load Crag into solaris, light with a dome light / distant light and look at the results. The XPU render is really glossy. Looks like either / both roughness and normals are behaving very differently.
Or is this just an issue with
my config?
Looks like the Crag test geometry is using a principled shader
XPU only supports materialX and USD Preview Surface
