Cedaway Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I recently have reinstalled GTA-IV (don't ask why...) When setting up my graphics options, I noticed a really cool feature: When you adjust the sliders in the settings options, you see the impact on the 'estimated' GPU memory usage example: And another cool feature is that there is an embedded benchmark tool in the option menu. It runs a scene in the 'world' and then shows a summary of the results, divided in CPU usage, GPU usage,... example: So, why not for our beloved sim? ED?

Suchacz Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 This would be very nice! Overall test and dedicated CPU and GPU test. Per aspera ad astra!

lunaticfringe Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Not a bad idea at all. Might not be too hard to implement, either, with scripting of tracks.
OttoPus Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 The feature could be an extra, there are way many more important things on top of the to-do list imho.
lunaticfringe Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Yes and no. Might ease the number of "Why does DCS run like crap on my peecee" threads, with a benchmarking tool available right in the graphics options. It would be nice to have better control and ability to gauge results without having to generate custom missions and such. I wouldn't take up aircraft dev resources for it, but if it could be cobbled together during downtime and resource development delays, sure.
