Profiling and Benchmarking

To properly assess the performance of the pipelines, you should deactivate vertical synchronization (V-Sync). This can be done from the View > V-Sync menu, the Renderer Properties panel, or the Profiler window. If V-Sync is not deactivated, the system does not run at optimal performance, and the reported timings in the Window Top Bar and Profiler window are generally higher (and fps lower) than the achievable performance. The V-Sync option is enabled by default to save energy.

The system also provides a means to run automatic benchmarks, which are detailed in the Performance Results sections of the documentation sub-pages. In Benchmarking mode, V-Sync is automatically disabled.
