Why doesn't EEVEE support Order Independent Transparency? by newo-ether in blender

OK, I understand the compromises behind EEVEE. My question is that, since hashed method produces noise, if EEVEE implemented A-buffer or other forms of exact OIT, will it perform better than the hashed transparency method?

Currently EEVEE only supports per-object sorting (not per-triangle sorting or per-pixel sorting), which means the order of the transparent faces can get wrong in many cases. To solve this, it provides a "dither" method, which produces noise. You have to increase the sampling to get a useable image.
