I watched the talk you linked to, but I couldn't understand most of it. Currently reading through Real-time Rendering book to make sense of it. I thought once they create splats as quads, the rest of pipeline is standard? Each quad should be 2 triangles that get clip view coordinates, then pixel shader paints the brush texture, and then ROP assembles them on screen. Could you point out where I'm wrong? And in what way can a pixel end up on the screen without going through ROPs?

I'm not actually sure anymore after looking at more content. Based on the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gce4l5orts&t=1225s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gce4l5orts&t=1225s . It appears that they are even using the splat engine anymore (which I thought they where), and are using the older 'brick' based engine.
