We would also love to see this and it's something we have on our list as well. The big issue with it is that in practice it's quite difficult to test properly since not all obvious metrics make sense. Stay tuned! We did submit our first post launch patch which to contains some of the fixes...

Most of these things are useful to someone, and I think part of a what makes a benchmark nice to use is getting all the geeky low-level stats that folks care about. I won't promise to add it, but I'll bring up with the team that at least one person asked about it ;-).

Is there a particular use case you have in mind for this?

The Nvidia API reports it as over 100% and the API we're calling is documented to be able to do that: "The fan speed is expressed as a percentage of the product's maximum noise tolerance fan speed. This value may exceed 100% in certain cases". We debated clamping it to not be misleading...

I just checked the code - turns out I was lying! Turns out that we actually do exactly do what you're saying (for all the reasons you state as well). On AMD we're using https://gpuopen.com/manuals/adlx/adlx-_d_o_x__i_a_d_l_x_g_p_u_metrics__g_p_u_total_board_power/ on Nvidia we're using...

Indeed this is a problem, however, it's thankfully one that's gotten better over time where both AMD and Intel's measurements have gotten closer. We query this on a few points in the system, and the one closest to the silicon is the one we prefer. Having said that; yes there will be some...

The power stuff so far I've found most interesting, having a laptop switch from 50W to 100W when plugged in, or having a MSI Claw take ~15W always when running, or the 4090 that's really going all over between 200W and 380W and switching very rapidly in a frame etc. I've attached a screenshot of...

Any time, we're hoping to make Evolve useful for communities like this, so I'm here to get as much feedback as possible! And to be entirely frank, Rys put me on this trajectory 5 years ago...

Hi Scott, thanks for posting about our benchmark suite! I'm Jasper Bekkers, CTO of Traverse Research and we've been developing this benchmark suite for a while now and we're really happy to see it out of the door. Also very nice to see that this community is looking at it, I've been lurking...
