Godot Version

4.4

Question

Hi all, how can I benchmark my game get its system requirements besides playing it on different laptops?

Thank you!:blush:

My suggestion would be get the best and worst machines you want to be able to run on, and make sure the game runs reasonably on those. Unless you have an AAA budget, you’re not going to be able to test against the full menagerie of PC hardware in any meaningful way.

If you have a best and worst, you can test/optimize on those, and hopefully everything in between will work as well.

I tried running it on an base laptop, with just Intel UHD, the game did not run. So im unsure.

How can I optimise it on those ones?

I like monitoring the memory on Debugger > Monitors (so I get the average requirements for my specific game), then I look into the base system requirements for Godot itself (video drivers required for specific renderers, etc). I think it’s fine when you need to fill Steam’s system requirements form of your game, for example.

Part of your decision for setting min spec is “what’s the worst machine I can get this to run reasonably on”, but there are several ways of looking at that. Do you want to put in the effort (and possibly cut features) to get the game running on that machine, or do you want to make a more powerful machine min spec? There’s no wrong answer to that question; you have to decide what you want.

You’re looking at it: about 400MB of RAM, about 4GB o video memory, that’s a pretty valuable information. Check the spikes and drops on the charts while playing the game, change graphics settings (resolution, vsync, etc) and find out what would be the minimum and the required specs.

(I must say that I’m curious about what you’re running in your game, because 4GB of video memory is what I use when playing Resident Evil 4 Remake on 1080p. :sweat_smile:)

Oh okay I will do that, I am pretty sure that its the animations in the game😅 and I tried with someones laptop, its an Intel Celeron, the picture does not show only the sound plays, they have an 8GB RAM, I probably think its their Video RAM.
