Frustum is the term that is used by developers to denote the region of space in the modeled world that may appear on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Burke, a prominent video game critic, and computer hardware expert noted several reservations with the\u00a0Final Fantasy XV PC Benchmark Tool in his recent article. In the article titled &#8220;FFXV&#8217;s Misleading Benchmark | Improper GameWorks Object Culling&#8221;, he has stated that the benchmark tool keeps on rendering objects that are not even in the Field of view of the camera hence resulting in lower performance.<\/p>\n<p>He even went on to say that<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\"><p>&#8220;&#8230;the Final Fantasy XV benchmark is among the most misleading we\u2019ve encountered in recent history&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The most notable problems with\u00a0Final Fantasy XV PC Benchmark Tool<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Flawed implementation of Nvidia Hairworks<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nvidia&#8217;s Hairworks\u00a0technology is used to make hair look very realistic on characters by detailing individual strands of hair. In the\u00a0Final Fantasy XV PC Benchmark Tool, however, this technology works on characters even when they are not in Frustum causing lower performance. In his hours-long testing, Steve Burke noticed that even those characters who were miles away from the Frustum still rendered all their hair using the Hairworks technology. <em>&#8220;We\u2019d discovered that HairWorks toggling (on\/off) had performance impact in areas where no hair existed.&#8221;<\/em>, this only confirms the assertion that hair is being rendered in areas which are out of view from the camera.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Objects rendered out of bounds of the map<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is also reported that the\u00a0Final Fantasy XV PC Benchmark Tool renders objects that are not even in the accessible part of the map. This again puts an unwanted load on the GPU causing lower frames per second.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Flawed implementation of Nvidia&#8217;s Turfworks technology<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides the problems with Nvidia&#8217;s Hairworks tech, the grass in the\u00a0Final Fantasy XV PC Benchmark Tool uses Nvidia&#8217;s Turfworks technology to detail each individual strand of grass for a more lifelike experience, although a welcome implementation, the grass,\u00a0however, renders even when it is outside the camera viewing zone. This again takes a toll on performance causing frame drops.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32002\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32002\" style=\"width: 703px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56.png\" alt=\"Performance chart with Nvidia Gameworks on and off\" width=\"703\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56.png 703w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56-696x555.png 696w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56-526x420.png 526w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56.png\" alt=\"Performance chart with Nvidia Gameworks on and off\" width=\"703\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56.png 703w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56-696x555.png 696w, https:\/\/thenerdmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/fps-gameworks-scaling-vega-56-526x420.png 526w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><\/noscript> Performance chart with Nvidia Gameworks on and off<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As can be seen from the chart above, the game does evidently better when Gameworks settings\u00a0are off.
