Developement Progress and Future Updates

HardwareBench

HardwareBench is the last benchmark software you'll ever need. No matter whether CPU rendering tests or SSD benchmarks, all benchmarks are combined here. No matter whether DirectX11, -12 or Vulcan, we have several tests for every graphics card.

In the last few Months we made some major changes in the software. We remade the entire UI in a OS style so its easier to navigate through all the stuff in the software.

[b]Sensores[/b] We also updated our HardwareSensorAPI and now we're able to read more sensors in realtime. there is still some values missing (especially on CPU side) but we're making huge progress on that. So we were finally able to intigrade these sensor values in our first "Applications and Stresstests: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45033639/0209c3dcde579ce8d399258912a89d060284533f.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45033639/96b326fe07a28f9c512668e23037d79d362ea585.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45033639/191143336480d033ac4763d331dafe62cb4a5896.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45033639/493931bec9d1ab204966b1ae1f0e96b820c37a19.png[/img] These Values are sometimes not completely accurate but we're already working on a fix! [b]Notes and Screenshots[/b] While benchmarking your system, you may sometimes need to document some scores, values or something else. So recently we added a NotePad System and a Screenshot System. After hitting F12, there will be a screenshot taken by Steam and you can now see every Screenshot directly in the software.

Thats why we added Debug logs to every single script which will be displayed in the Commander application. there will be also some commands in the future. more information for different logs can be found later in a seperate dokumentation.

In the Achievements tab you can watch your progress on Achievements and see which ones you're already completed. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45033639/7346f0f54443212ebfd919cd407a8ea8040c204d.png[/img] In the Profile tab, you can see some Specs of your Profile that are normaly hidden and some of them are hard to find. Some of these values are not always accurate since steam is updating some of them only once a week. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45033639/fbd4b87d7ef861149baf77676886e06d6a96fd9c.png[/img] The Friends tab lists all your Steamfriends listed by Activity and finally it also shows up in which game your friends are in. clicking on one of them currently opens the Steam Chat but we're planning an Option to display some stats like in the Profile tab [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45033639/b7c1322e64479ca55906ab6e06ad68dccd17136c.png[/img] [b]So what is our plan now?[/b] Since our UI is pretty new, we have some bugs to fix (maybe you spot some of them on the Screenshots posted above). Also we're working on a Benchmark downloading System so we can keep the Size of the Software smaller than the old version because some people might only need 1-2 Benchmarks instead of all. and ofcourse we're still working on new Benchmarks. Currently we're trying to implement some Unreal Engine Scenes to our current Benchmarksystem which is pretty interesting and hard since we're using Unity right now. once all of that is done (including HardwareSensorAPI), we'll do a Playtest and Minimum Requierement Test for every Benchmark and also some performance estimations for the Benchmarks including Leaderboards for highest scores and a list of average scores in every benchmark to compare your systems to everyone else. Thats all for now. ofcourse we'll keep you Updated when we have interesting or excited news Best, Backii AVAI Interactive
