Framerate (avg, 1% low, 0.1% low) not working

Like the title said, monitoring of Framerate Avg, Framerate Min, Framerate Max, Framerate 1% Low, Framerate 0.1% Low are not working / not monitoring any data for me.

Is their something i'm missing that need to be activated or ?

Thanks

 

Don't mind me, I've found the reason why. I just needed to start the benchmark recording.

 

Well, when I let the benchmark run in the background, I lose +/- 20 FPS so if that impact performance so much, doesn't that make the data irrelevant ?

 

I'm starting to think my Sapphire card is REALLY sensible to data monitoring.

Get 120-125 FPS without benchmark on
Drop to 100-105 FPS and stay there as soon as I activate the benchmark.

I increased the hardware pooling rate from 1000ms to 2000ms and it was still the same performance hit.

Might try to set it to 5000ms later to see if it fare any better in term of perf hit.

 

In MSI AB detach monitoring window
right click, select "show profiler panel"

Now watch the profiler panel which sources takes most time.
Hit the hotkey to start benchmark and have a look if anything changes in the profiler panel.
Don't forget to stop benchmark again.
On my (definitely old) computer there is no (visible) difference between benchmark off and benchmark on.
If there is anything which takes too much time you may want to exclude it from the monitoring.

 

Will take a look into that, thank you!

 

Why is GPU Temperature monitoring taking so much time (16+ ms) ?
That's basically the number one thing I want to see.
Sad if I have to disable it. Is this normal behavior ?

 

Hmm, as soon as I disable GPU Temperature monitoring, another monitored thing start to take 16ms, what is going on here ?
If I disable the other thing that take 16ms, another thing start to take 16ms, and so on and so forth.
Merely a bug in the profiler or am I out of touch with how this work?

 

Note that each of those is from the 5700 XT.

Maybe the problem isn't with any single data source, but the AMD driver? Then one of the items (the one accessed first, the last, or one at random) gets the blame.

As a test, you could try disabling all data sources related to the GPU.

 

Well yes, but I want to benchmark the Framerate, Frametime, Framerate Avg, Framera 1% Low, Framerate 0.1% Low, Framerate Max, Framerate Min which are all related to the RX 5700 XT, so i'm outta luck I guess.

Also, i'm not sure if 16ms is a problem or not, will need to wait see what Unwinder have to say about that.

 

Awesome, thank you for the explanation.

Basically, 16ms for whatever the 1st value on the profiler is, that's normal and expected right? And not supposed to tank performance/FPS when benchmark is activated to monitor framerate behavior (1% low, 0.1% low, min, max) ?

 

Thanks for your reply.

I guess I gived too much importance at the reply from Andy_K in this thread.

For the "no performance impact", i'll upload a small YT video later. My FPS does tank by 20-25 as soon as benchmark is enabled and jump back up by 20-25 as soon as I disable the benchmark.

Hardware polling rate set to 2000ms
Fan control polling rate to 5000ms
Temp hysteresis is set to 5C
Step mode fan control is activated

Not sure how to optimize performance even more honestly. Nothing is running in the background except the game + msi ab + rtss
