Part-Heavy stock Craft for performance comparisons

[Kobymaru]

Hi! With the pre-release on the horizon, one of the things I am looking forward to the most is that we can finally stop crystal-ball-gazing about the performance and get cold, hard numbers.

I'm really looking forward to comparing it myself, but to do so, I need "representative" crafts.

My question is, can someone share some crafts that I can use for benchmarking?

Requirements:

- Completely stock
- 2 crafts with 300 parts, 1 craft with 600 parts
- Should not break apart on physics loading
- Do not have to actually go to space, I will use hyperedit.
- One of the 300 parts crafts should have a lot of solar panels and fuel cells

 

That's about it. Does anyone have something similar floating around in their hangars? Or feel motivated to make that?

I built this, but it doesn't qualify because it has 301 parts, not 300

Thanks a lot! This looks really cool

Well, if you want a performance crushing craft, the MCSS(Modded Community Space Station) That I started is over 400 parts and sends my gtx 980 ti and intel 5820K into the 10 - 25 fps range. You can use that if you want.

I know you asked for stock, but I suspect you will be doing a modded benchmark run too, to compare performance from stock and modded games.

There is a 2000 part ship here, for space purposes! (only mod is tweakscale, and it's only used for the rear engines)

If you want to REALLY get serious about a performance load, here's my 1,500-part fuel station launcher.

LAUNCH FROM RUNWAY

Holy moly.... The performance gains...

1.0.5:

 250 parts: 7 FPS
 500 parts: 4 FPS
 1000 parts: not tested

1.1, experimental:

  250 parts: 60 FPS
  500 parts: 30 FPS
 1000 parts: 12 FPS

I have also noticed that with separate crafts (2x250 instead of 500 parts), the performance goes up a little, but not by much, like 30FPS to 35FPS.

Color me impressed.

My rig:

Spoiler

Intel Core i5 4690K, Clocked at 3.8 GHz, 4 Cores
Nvidia GTX 960
8GB Ram

Holy heck. From 4FPS to 30? I NEED this release.

Ooooh. I have that same GPU, and a 6600K clocked at 4.5 Ghz. Considering I run lots of craft at once (BDA scenarios) I'm wondering if I would have gotten a benefit with a 6700K. If one of my cores could (barely) handle a ~500 part 5v5, with separate threads for each vessel I should be able to get some crazy stuff going. 20v20 even. Or 10v10 with lots of ground installations.

On second thought with the performance gains on single-core, I'm gonna try something like a 30v30. That's gonna be insane.

Nice! but wow.. I have nearly basically the same exact rig (same CPU and GPU, with 8 gigs of ram) and I would usually get at least 15-20 with 250 part crafts in 1.0.5... odd..

wait.. nm, i forgot i have had my delta time frame set to max forever now
