Hasn't it been said many times that average fps only tells you so much, minimum fps are also very important.
Also, as it happens, isn't that what Mantle usually helps out a lot in?

Come on Matt, tell us how to get minimum fps so we can see how much difference Mantle makes!

See the post above me. I'm far from an expert at this.

Yeah, but you're the one with the contacts!

Well done Havana though, Kaap should put that info in the OP.

I'm sure he will, but I think he said he was working now for 4 days.

I've highlighted the calcs in yellow though, so they're easier to spot.

Shouldn't there be guys who work for AMD who can do this for you if you don't know how to use Excel or other basic tools? I am not having a pop but AMD are very tight with Firaxis on this, so asking on a forum seems a little...well....lame in truth. You work and represent AMD and these things should be sorted in house really.

Still, Havana was very kind to tell you how to do it with Excel

Not sure if its been mentioned, but its probably worth noting what CPU is used. If civ:BE is anything like 5 its going to be a fair difference between amd/intel cpu's.

Havana_UK · 24 Oct 2014 at 22:19

Oh I'm so into this now

I converted frame time to FPS and made a graph

Very much having a pop and do stop with this... Well lame approach at matt. It's getting old now Gregster
If you don't like this reply then maybe you can delete this post for me?

Owait

It's not nice at all now.

What's excel got to do with Matt job anyway? And most people who never even used excel wouldn't call it basic it's far from basic depending on what you doing.

Matt works for a professional company and these things should be sorted in-house and not on a forum is all I see it as but if it seemed I was having a pop, that wasn't the intention. It just makes AMD look very amateurish and extremely unprofessional. Not a good advert.

Edit:

As for Excel, that was something I taught myself whilst being a union rep, so it made my job of sorting rosters out a lot easier. Maybe it is harder than I thought? Anyway, enough of that and back on topic

It doesn't seems unprofessional at all. Not everyone who starts a new job has all the skills to go with what ever job they doing.
Most people learn new skills while working and so on.

Excel has nothing to do with his roll.

Your just finding anything to have a dig and I have noticed this a lot over months on here and even more worst since he got the job.

EDIT
Yeah back on topic now I'll say no more.

Are you his wife? Matt is big enough to fight his own battles if he so chooses to. Not every criticism in life needs to be turned into a defensive battle for goodness sake.

It's 'butt'.

Ian Evey · 24 Oct 2014 at 22:58

Just lately I see this forum being used as a marketing tool, not really my cup of tea, But I definately would be asking my colleagues if they knew how to use excel rather than post it in a graphics card forum.

Excel shenanigans gives me the right proper heeby-geebys :confused:

Could you please please please with a big fat cherry on top decipher this output file for me? Love you long time

As this is a BE thread, how did everyone set their res in fullscreen. I cant go beyond 1280x1024 on mine??

Yeah, I was just thinking that it'd be nice to see the difference Mantle makes, especially on AMD CPUs.
Maybe Humbug can do a couple runs, if he has the game?

stooeh · 24 Oct 2014 at 23:33

Am I doing it right ?

FPS / Frame Number

Spudley · 24 Oct 2014 at 23:34

Average FPS was 123.47

By-frame-FPS chart:

Interesting that your frame times were very consistent to begin with...then went all over the place like mine!
