 FCAT benchmarking an article introduction

In this article we will introduce you towards FCAT benchmarking. The past couple of months we have seen a some new dynamics in measuring the framerate of your games. Basically the framerate of your game is simply put the number of frames per second your computer and graphics card is able to render. A very normal way of looking at graphics card and game performance really. But there is so much more we can look at.

You can read the article right here.

Excellent read. Explains the new benchmarking methodology rather nicely.

Excellent write-up, I'm very pleased you are going to incorporate FCAT testing into your reviews ! This needs to be known, so the manufacturers (AMD more than NVIDIA at this point) can make constant frame-times a priority and eliminate micro-stutter.

One point I'd like to make is that it would benefit all if you would include the same scaling for all your graphs and include zoomed-in versions indented or offset enough that it's clear it isn't the same. Because some aren't really comparable when they use different scaling like these two:


22-44ms scaling (22ms range)


0-30ms scaling (30ms range)

It would have been more helpful if the charts were 0-50ms, which is basically with a broad margin the lowest-highest we'd ever want to see anyway.

Hilbert, please don't use the term 'quickie introduction'...just 'quick introduction' would be enough without having the readers being rendered into wild imaginings. :P

Yeah I know and actually mention that a couple of times in the article. Over time you'll see charts with fixed scaling. Percentile charts will range from 0 to 100% and the plots we need to figure out some sort of fixed y-axis for (likely ~60ms).

How much time will this add to your reviews? The cost itself is eye-watering!
