Split/Second - ULUS10513

[gid15]

On revision da6886e0, using the video option "Hide some video effects (experimental, might improve performance)" improves the performance of this game (around 24 - 30 FPS) compared to not using this option (around 12 - 15 FPS).

I clicked on "Reset profiler information" to capture the area with the performance issue for about 1 minute (one with the video option "Hide some video effects (experimental, might improve performance)" and the other without the video option "Hide some video effects (experimental, might improve performance)"). I also attached a capture of the profiler data with the External Software Renderer in the area with performance issues.

Interesting, thank you.
The performance issue seems to be coming from the "Copy GE to memory" operations:
with hiding of video effects:

Code:

Texture load count: 43, average 0.0 per GE list
Copy GE to memory: 0, average 0.0 per GE list
GE list duration: 28996ms, average 23.7ms per GE list, max FPS is 42.2

without hiding of video effects:

Code:

Texture load count: 12812, average 10.3 per GE list
Copy GE to memory: 46513, average 37.2 per GE list
GE list duration: 74206ms, average 59.4ms per GE list, max FPS is 16.8

The other elements have slightly changed, but do not seem to be significant.

It seems you are using a laptop integrated video card

Code:

The Radeon HD 4200 is quite old (more than 10 years old), right?
