DF Direct - Preparation for PS5 and Xbox Series X: Redesign of performance analysis tools!

FreeDown 48 Comments


In 2008, we designed the first tools to measure the performance of console games. These tools have evolved over the years, but the transition to a 4K workflow means that we need a radical overhaul of the way we test the new era of games - in this DF Direct, Rich shows our new techniques to measure the performance of the console and how it optimizes the workflow for 1080p and PC too!

    Thanks Richard for this video. I've always been curious, what's the sampling rate you use for your FPS meter?

    So you finally showed us that "very expensive capture tool"

    Come on, this brilliant new method gives you a solid resolution down to 3 frames.

    This is way inferior to high fidelity example you are showing around 12:35 which provides decimal point resolution updated couple times each second.

    Aren't You Then Still Bottelnecked By The Capture Software/Hardware?

    It seems with the new tools you should be able to Livestream game performance on release respective release dates; that would bolster views

    Virtualdub! This is amazing! You made changes to Virtualdub and a pluggin to Premiere! I sure like to play with that one day...

    As Virtualdub is somewhat ancient and may not support it, how do you solve the HDR capture?

    This seems excessive for a disappointingly minor console upgrade that might not even hit a consistent 1080p60 and has no real hope in heck for 4k60 due to a massive memory deficiency.
    Plus what does it even matter for a youtube upload.

    Also, why did Frakes dye his hair?

    Now we just need a tool that can keep up with Richard's hand movements.

    It'd be cool if someone created an on the fly resolution tool. Real time pixel counts for adaptive resolutions.

    Hey Rich, are you guys planning on implementing a workflow that allows visualising the fps and stuff in a LIVESTREAM? Would be pretty dope, streaming the game on twitch with FPS and frametime graph below, and then compiling that 3 hour session into a short 15 min youtube video for later. Tho considering your workflow seems Adobe premiere based, it seems not easy to implement for livestream.

    My last video will tell you exactly what you'll need in your PC to play Nextgen PS5 and Xbox Series X games. Minimum and Recommend Specs. It's long bc I explain everything, but the specs are in the description of you're lazy, constrained for time or can't stand my face.
