Benchmarking Mods performance

[Franck83]

Hi everybody,

I did a performance test for Alliance of Heroes mod, and i don't know how to understand the results. Somebody knows ?

I wanna know if i have some cpu room to add more features. I have the general feeling that it's ok, how much my mod impact the CPU ? Do i need to worry doctor ?

Well, these are my benchmark results:

18708 i7 4790K @4.4GHz
18645 i7 6700K @ 4.4GHz
18595 PhenomII-X4-955 @ 4,1GHz / 200MHz NB 2400 (cpu / front side bus / north bridge (RAM))
18589 PhenomII-X4-955 @ 4,0GHz / 200MHz NB 2400
18585 PhenomII-X4-955 @ 4,1GHz / 200MHz NB 2200
18576 PhenomII-X4-955 @ 4,2GHz / 205MHz
18559 PhenomII-X4-955 @ 4,0GHz / 200MHz
18547 PhenomII-X4-955 @ 3,8GHz / 211MHz
18543 FX-8150 @ 4,2GHz
18545 PhenomII-X4-955 @ 3,8GHz / 200MHz
18328 QuadCore Q8400 @ 2,5GHz

As you can see, the difference between an old QuadCore and an i7 6700K is about 400 benchmark points.
(you also can see on the PhenomII, that CPU MHz don't change the benchmark much, but faster RAM does.)

If i look at your benchmark, i see for the game itself 15595 points (frames rendered)
Then with your mod, your score is better, with 15985.

So the benchmark tells us, the game is faster with your mod.
(at least the benchmark is faster)

You are fine, you don't need a doctor.

Ty for replay Uveso.

Very interesting. Only 400 pts diff between quad core and high thread 6700k performance CPU.. I wonder if my mod have broken some parts of the performance test so that why the performance is better.
I saw that CluaTask go from 200+ to 1400+. Maybe for the mod usage.

So SupCom FA more memory dependent that CPU. That's interesting. Seems to be more room for content dev

Well, since we have CPU's that are fast enough for the calculations, we now have the problem that we can't push more data through the north-bridge (connection between the CPU and RAM banks)

Sadly there is no benchmark program that is displaying how much data actual flows through the north bridge.

I would say, if you only add calculations and not memory eating arrays or tables, then you are fine to go.

how to run alike benchmark even?
