Hardware Optimisation & Benchmarking Shenanigans

Hmmm, that gives me a thought. Whatever happens within these cpu/gpu monitoring apps that ends up getting rasterized to a set of graphs, what’s actually needed is access to the discreet samples driving those functions, add to that a routine for averaging and comparing values. We’re not the first to talk about the relative worth of benchmarking with off-the-shelf tools, the functions running within specific apps calling for more granular insights. If someone approached one of these developers behind something like GPU-Z, TechPowerUp, and pitched them on the concept we’re after, but this with a broader value to them of vastly improving the utility of their app when pointing it to track a user-specified app, RC in this case, and generate this awesomely informative log, believe there’s actually a strong selling point here, especially for manufacturers vying for sales, to take benchmarking to the next level. I personally don’t mind taking a stab at making contact and opening a dialog. Maybe, that’s all I do, handing that dialogue off to Ivan, Michal, whomever, to present an orderly list of specs we’d want this app to perform to. TechPowerUp is just an example, if it’s the right idea, we should generate a prioritized hit list. Sounds a bit ambitious establishing momentum, but I’m game putting in a little time toward this end to fly it up the flagpole.
