Sneakson 1 Posted August 2, 2013 Hey! Didn't ARMA2 have one or two official benchmarking scenarios you could run? Why not ask BIS to have this in the game as soon as possible so we can make more accurate comparisons of various components to make better recommendations to others etc? I could see any request for it after searching so here: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=12269 We need an official benchmark included in the game by default as this makes it a lot easier and standardized and as a consequence many more will use it and results will actually be very accurately comparable.

nikiforos 450 Posted August 2, 2013 ^+1111111 Excellent idea but I guess there is a reason we don't have it in game:j: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What real need is there for a benchmarking mission other than comparing e-peen? "I got 36434 FPS in the benchmark mission" doesnt really add much to bug reports...

Most REAL benchmarks send out a log, not just FPS. It would help them make further optimizations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tremanarch 6 Posted August 2, 2013 inofficial, but comparable.. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19801 theres a thread too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakson 1 Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) What real need is there for a benchmarking mission other than comparing e-peen?"I got 36434 FPS in the benchmark mission" doesnt really add much to bug reports... I already mentioned it. A lot of people are asking both how well they will run the game on their current computers and are asking me what computer they should buy next. No need to recommend a more expensive chassis if performance is the same, or the 660 Ti to a user if the cheaper 660 performs just as well, no need to recommend a Titan if two 770s outperform it by 40% and no need to recommend SLI or tri-SLI of various high-end cards when they actually make performance worse in standard resolutions et cetera. Also if some component performs poor beyond reason there may be room for some optimizations. And naturally it may also be used to test different settings and not only components.

purepassion 22 Posted August 5, 2013 What real need is there for a benchmarking mission other than comparing e-peen?"I got 36434 FPS in the benchmark mission" doesnt really add much to bug reports... I think it's more about personal reference. Many people here buy, upgrade and tweak their systems just for Arma 3. Having a benchmark which offers you a persistent performance value is crucial when doing e.g. overclocking etc. Additionally, it's also very useful for the devs if they want to see how certain changes impact a large amount of hardware combinations. ("Hey, we just implemented a new way of doing X, see how it performs for you") When people report performance related feedback, it might often not actually be valid because the scenario, or mission the feedback was gathered from, contained e.g. a bad loop or similar. Only when everyone tests the same, there's actually a usable testing environment :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
