Sponsored Feature: How Rise of Flight Increased FPS By Up To 50%
Combat flight simulation games are awesome. Where else can you tear up
the sky at full throttle, machine guns blazing, wind roaring, warp
speed rearranging your face ... and be in the relative safety of the
living room sofa?
Like them or LOVE THEM, game companies know that flight sim fans crave
the need for speed. In fact, they demand it. And that means tip-top
performance and high frame rates.
In this case study, Orion Granatir introduces Sergey Vorsin, lead
programmer at Neoqb, who discusses how Intel� Graphics Performance
Analyzers helped significantly improve the speed and performance of
Rise of Flight: The First Great Air War. Includes great details, data
points and screen shots of the tool's interface.
