Elite Dangerous BenchMark/Analysis?

[Caydran]

Hello FDev.

Could we have a menu option and a benchmark to analyze our installation/configuration of different parts of the game, i.e. "Elite Dangerous, Horizons, Odyssey, CQC".

The Analysis mode would use the benchmark data to tell us things like whether we are CPU/GPU bound, memory and bus speeds, CPU cores/thread/memory being used by the game, notifying us of things we could do to the hardware or game settings to better the game experience?

Use the game itself to make the game better.

EDIT: Removed FID.

Thanks.

might do better in the suggestion subforum.

There are many detailed tools out there which would perform the test much better and more accurate then fdev would do with elite.
My bottleneck for example was memory bandwidth, since running ram at a higher frequency game much smoother.

Not sure if FDev is capable to make fully functional benchmark. But having some scripted demo would probably make sense. Starting at station concourse on-foot, flying to another system ground settlement - smth like that and recording FPS. This way we could compare different graphical settings and choose optimal. And also see progress of future performance optimizations/patches.

A repeatable benchmark would be appreciated.

As it stands the best alternative is the suit tutorial, which has a few highly repeatable and demanding scenes. However, this requires a lot of manual gameplay and is not a great CPU test.
