What is this some sort of secrete cult? the Info for the output file is not in the OP, are we going to make everyone read the thread to try and dig out the information buried within it?

Converting Results

Please use the utility below.
Credit due to:

Havana_UK for working out how to convert the data.
GoogalyMoogaly for creating the utility.
Gregster for hosting the utility.
Many thanks.

Convert Results Here.

To use
Find your result file "lategameview".
This will be in the "\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization BeyondEarth\" folder.
Use WordPad to open the file.
Copy and paste the contents into the utility above.
Press Calculate FPS.

It is a bit of a hassle really. It wouldn't have taken that much effort to have the game/benchmark itself display the min, avg, max.

All the info you need is in the OP. RTFM

thanks. also found the 'lategameview' file.

I'm being half serious with this cult crap, you find it a lot in the Linux community, people being deliberately obtuse toward newcomers, and they hate it when you follow up with a simplification of the help response they came up with.

Its a "this is my church, you must prove yourself" mentality.

Its ridiculous.

Anyway. attempting to get a result from this.

thanks

Everything was in the first post though :rolleyes:

You must have read it, surely?

Otherwise you wouldn't know what settings to use

Well in fairness, there is no way you can decipher the results without using Excel (or a similar program) and not many people know how to use Excel apparently, so Havana did the formula, Googaly did the webpage, I hosted it on one of my sites and Kaap updates the thread. I think between us we did well and there is no secret handshaking or cult and you can't get any simpler than what we have done between us. None of us work for Firaxis or AMD and do this for fun only

Humbug

Did you just download the demo or have you got the full game?

I tried finding out about if the demo has mantle support but could not find any info on it.

I'm not talking about you, how did you take that away from what i said? i quoted eddyr when he said it would have been easier for them just to put out a Min / Max / Avr.

Just the Demo, there are Mantle files in the install, dunno. i might start tweaking code paths at this rate

Can I use this for the scoreboard or do you want me to wait for an overclocked run.

I just read those and I didn't think you was talking about me but the thread in general. And yes, it would have been simpler to have a min, avg and max results but we make do with what we have

Scoreboard updated.

I would be playing this myself but I have got a crappy old PC I have got to get on with building today.

Gregster · 28 Oct 2014 at 08:00

Surprised to see nVidia dominating this thread but in honesty, fps is pretty irrelevant but a bench thread is always welcome

Well done Kaap and good work AMDMatt on getting Kaap to do it :cool:

We've only got results at 1080p/1200p at the moment though Greg. The scales might tip at higher resolutions.
