A GDC 2015 talk in which Natalya Tatarchuk describes the multithreaded renderer Bungie built for Destiny. It covers the low-latency architecture across platforms, its successes and its challenges.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN commenters cite it as the go-to talk on a job-system-based multithreaded game engine architecture.

Identifies the video the parent comment mentioned
Thanks. Apparently fallout4 has a bunch of bugs on higher-end PCs because and I was wondering why they would couple things like that. I guess the harsh restrictions of gamedev explain it a bit then... btw, I think this is the video the parent mentioned, in case anyone is interested: this video

Cited talk on Destiny's multithreaded engine architecture
Are there any AAA game studios using or evaluating Rust yet? I saw some GDC talks about the multithreaded game engine for Bungie's Destiny game. Given the debugging and QA challenges of their multithreaded architecture, something like Rust's ownership model seems like a good fit. Does the Rust toolchain support Xbox and PlayStation? * Destiny's Multithreaded Rendering Architecture: this video * Multithreading the Entire Destiny Engine: link
“The renderer talk is here”
The renderer talk using a job system
I believe it’s only been mentioned in passing and likely will be talked about at conferences soonish. Here’s a HN thread from when it was first talked about: link There was an early talk about using a job system to run the Destiny renderer and then this one for the whole engine which is a very similar premise to the way DOOM(2016) and then DOOM Eternal evolved. link The renderer talk is here: this video
