I don't know if it's by design or not and it's been like this for a long time, but that's not how benchmarks are supposed to work IMO...

1. Turn off V-Sync (like people usually do when measuring performance);
2. Turn off anti-aliasing;
3. Run a game with -gamegauge command line.

The whole replay is played almost instantly, in about 1 sec.
I think it should play at usual speed, giving a game some time to show off and actually measure FPS.

It's true that the replay runs instantly, but the game should save out an 'fps.txt' file to your profiles folder containing the measured frame rates.

Well yes it does, but there is only a single measure, not a series of them.
I understand that the benchmarking is more or less pointless in such a game, but it can be used to compare impact of different settings on performance.

There is an FPS entry for every second during the run. Here's the output on my computer for example:

Code: Select all

264.22 RVGL Game Gauge File
225 Min
332 Max
256 Second 1
250 Second 2
264 Second 3
287 Second 4
264 Second 5
225 Second 6
332 Second 7
285 Second 8
272 Second 9

I guess on faster computers the entire run could complete within a second, which would mean there is only a single measure. In that case, it would be better indeed to disable this speedup.
