What's the command to save fps to a log?

PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 0

Hit enter.

That saves the command so you never have to type it again. Bring up the console, press the down arrow, delete 0 and change it to 1 to begin benching and change it back to 0 to end benching. Benchmark tools are in the OP.

Your too good matt, sorry pal i should have looked.

No worries, don't think i listed the benchmarking command in the OP. I should probably add it.

Just tried with Mantle, while the avg fps is awesome, i get HUGE cpu spikes that ruin it for me, resulting in my fps dropping to around 30fps for a split second then back up over 100fps.

That's a shame. Using full screen mode? Maybe try a different server.

Yeah i'll try again now, yep fullscreen, ultra settings preset, 90FOV.

90 FOV at 1080P? That's higher than i have at 1440P.

Does it keep happening or does it stop after 5 minutes of moving around?

lol sorted matt, seems it was the server, stand by for results.

How does that look Matt?

That FOV too high you think? does it effect FPS?

Those issues are always server related.

Looks good to me. Click the second little graph box so you get the rendering line as well.

I don't think the FOV has a big effect on fps, but it may come with a small performance hit. I use 85 FOV for 1440P and 78 for 1080P. It comes down to personal preference though, i wouldn't worry about it.

Cheers, handy little tools those

Now to get another 290X and get the lot underwater!

Nice. Once you've tried crossfire on Mantle there's no going back to DX. My 1440P quality video should be ready in 15 minutes or so. I have a few vids to upload but with my net it takes a while.

Little off topic but I'll ask regardless, I'm trying to get more voltage through afterburner but having issues, I'm making the shortcut, but when I put this in so my target reads "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe /wi6,30,8d,20"

But it tells me that the location isn't valid

No clue mate sorry i just use trixxx for benching situations where +100mv does not cut the mustard.

It's £20.95, gone up a bit in price since i bought it.

I know, It's a cool feature. #Jealous #nice

However, if it was a toss up between ShadowPlay and Mantle? I'd pick Mantle every time. #nocontest #nobrainer #differentgravy

Right, eyes and ears people. Quality comparison test coming up. First video is ready, second video is uploading and will add it later. Watch in 1440P quality.
