I was bored so I make this performance test.

Number of items on the left, test name at the bottom
Left side is number of items. The bigger the better


-------------------------------------------------
It's a no fuss, fast, straight to the point performance test with the most common methods in GM I have used.

The source is included so if you have other tests you want to add, It should be easy for you to do so. Please share your results and your test ideas/mods if you have any.

And you don't need a screen shot, it's just a window with test sprites, nothing to impress visually, just performance tests, it will take you longer to ask for a screen shot than try out the gm6 file.

% is the game stress... When it reaches below 30FPS (Above 100% stressed), the result is sent to the clipboard along with the instance count

You can press F4 to perform the tests in full screen. Just be quick about pressing it when the test starts.

Also, you could add 3D performance testing. I made a simple benchmark where it creates an object with a simple 3D model. Maybe that would be good.

EDIT: Another good thing about the performance app, its not a executable so i can download it in a second. Maybe all gm things should be like this.

it was 60% "CPU Usage" (roughly described) until it finaly gave in, that's when I stop and log. You do not get the chance to see the step when the increase in CPU goes beyond 100%. Since I add 100 instances per step, I can break the cammel's back in one step.

It is interesting to see the comparison with the first few sets of tests on slower machines vs the last few sets on faster machines. I would have assumed that a faster PC would do better in more areas, however I seem to only do well in the last few sets of tests.

Not many drastic changes (if any) have been made to graphic cards regarding the functions GM uses. So the main speed increases will be related the CPU...
