A tool that could help evaluate BOB COD objectively

[nearmiss]

It would be interesting if we had some realistic ideas of how the BOB COD is being improved with some consistent basis of performance.

The WIN 7 utility included in Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/Peformance Information and Tools might be a good place to start.
All you have to do is click on Performance Information and Tools in the control panel to get a BaseScore with meaningful subscores.

If you capture that screen and then make a brief explanation of your evaluation of BOB COD performance in a posting. That might corroborate an ever improving BOB COD as related to various computer systems.

There are better tools, but these tools are a pretty good benchmark that is very accessible to Win7 users.

I guess we would have to have maybe three different graphic setups for each tester to benchmark on.

Say one with all max graphics, one with all low graphics and one with medium/high graphics (the average user).

That, posted together with system specs, win7 rating and some FPS max/min/avg readings and of course the developers taking the time to look through the reports may give us some better results in the future

Repost from the other thread:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz |7.5
Memory 4.00 GB |7.7
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series |6.9
Gaming Graphics 2811 MB Total available graphics memory |6.9
HD: 5.9

Overall (by lowest) 5.9.

CloD Performance:

Most settings medium, medium textures (could use high before last retail patch), 2x AA, true fullscreen @ 1920 x 1200, shadows & roads on, grass off, vsync on, SSAO & Ep filter off.

Without using Radeon Pro, fps is in the 10-20s over land with massive stuttering. With Radeon Pro, fps becomes a slightly more stable 25ish, most of the stutter has gone. 'Bubble' pop-in regardless of whether I use Radeon or not. Crossfire only works well with Radeon Pro and STILL has a massive performance degradation over time, to the extent that if you spend half an hour 'testing' different settings, it'll be a slideshow by the time you finish, making actual testing impossible.

The wins 7 test isn't up to what it should be ..you have a quad core and 2x 5770
I have 5.9 and half of what you have for a computer

Most Test programs are not 100% due to the fact not everyone is a expert when it comes to computers Most likey people download the benchmark and run it and get a score and figure thats it and post it

When in fact they have other apps and processes open and running not knowing it effects your score Same with "bottlenecking" or conductivity of your connection host or how to set a high priority in process useage

Even having nortons, Firewall etc on in the back ground is a big process and will effect a score Under cooling Cpu, Gpu. same

Benchmarking websites if you take the time to read the post will tell you not to "just download and click" take the right steps

most of the problems i seen on here have been people with higher end computers And my own two cents is that dual core works, Quad core works, and mid ranged Video cards works But everything starts to drop off when you get into the ATI 6xxx series and Nvid 480 areas and AMD 6 core Intell i-5 / i-7
Maybe the game being 7 years in the making started as a duel / quad core base and added more is hard work ..don't know not a programmer just say it as i see it ..I still hear and see alot of 1946 in CLOD

Have you even seen the massive thread regarding the Windows benchmark?..

dont even think to use that Win gimmic, all for a benchmark that is easy to use, free and accurate but not that one

[Novotny]

Sisoft Sandra is free and actually works; perhaps it might be a better tool?

This scores in Win 7 are useless. What we need is a benchmark padronized with INSIDE VIEW of the most demanding aircarft - regards speed and/or cockpit complexity - in a lot of stressfull situations.

With the results of this benchmark of PLAYABILITY, we can post our hardware and do comparsions, with results thats mean something. With actual benchmark, the stutterfest "The Black Death", with lots of changes in views, everybody will think thay CloD runs like crap even in high end rigs.

And simply will not believe in any testimonial that say the opposite. I know by experience...

1000% correct. Missy you should know better. tsk tsk tsk!

Why don't you lot try doing something productive, like posting your results, rather than whine about it? Nearmiss is clearly aware (see quote) that there are other tools, but this is one nearly everyone has access to and doesn't require an extra program.
