-What is FPS Min Caliber?-

   You’ll notice that I added something named “FPS Min Caliber”. Basically FPS Min Caliber is something I came up to differentiate between FPS absolute minimum which could simply be a data loading point during gameplay etc. The FPS Min Caliber ™ is basically my way of letting you know lowest FPS average you’ll see during gameplay 1% of the time out of 100%. The minimum fps [FPS min] can be very misleading. FPS min is what you'll usually encounter only 0.1% of the time out of 100%. This results vary greatly, even on the same PC. This normally occurs during loading, saving etc. I think it will be better to focus on what most gamers will experience. Obviously the average FPS and Frame Time is what you'll encounter 99% of your playtime. I think it's a feature you'll learn to love. I plan to continue using this in the future as well. If you still can't understand this then basically a "97th Percentile".

 

1440p - Real Time Benchmarks ™

 

  This game does not feature a benchmarking tool so I decided to use the level “Know Your Enemy” since it is well rounded and seems decently demanding. As I progress throughout the game I’ll benchmark different areas if I find any areas that seem to worth benchmarking. All benchmarks are using the Ultra settings unless otherwise stated.

  I'm basically getting the same performance when setting the 'Virtual Texturing Page Size" to "Nightmare". I did notice an increase in image quality. There is basically no penalty at 2560x1440p with using Ultra + Nightmare settings along with TSSAA[8TX]. The Fury X performs well and I had no issues, but I think there might be a patch soon.

  I did notice little issues that disrupted the FPS\Frame Time when I was not benchmarking. Basically if you stand and look at the entire room from a different view the performance likes to drop. However, if you go to opposite side of the room and look at the same assets in the room, there will be no performance hit. Little things like that will be addressed soon I hope. It isn't game breaking and won't effect gameplay unless you are gaming at 4K or higher. That's just something I noticed and I thought I'd pass along.
