This channel has improved so much! I was already a game nerd and loved the old videos, but now they are just making much better stuff rather than just raw capture with UI layered on the video. Good job guys.
You feel it's biased? Towards which platform? I always felt it kept to the truth and showed unbiased information on consoles/PC rather than any BS about "PS4 v Xbox" stuff.
Very interesting! I really appreciate the hard work you go to to present us with these technical analysis videos. Thank you for showing us how it all works!
Very cool stuff you showed us. Transparency gives us security and you a lot of trust. I wish that more reviewers would work more precise like you do. Thanks for this video.
So the frametimes you show are related to how long the frame stays on screen, not how long it took to render. That was something I was curious about because without the ability to hook into the engine to know I wondered how you got that value.
Will this tool ever be released? It's been 4 years since this was first uploaded and the closest we have is trdrop which doesn't have as much customisability. I'd love to use FPSgui
Amazing work that you guys do on this channel. I'm always the guy that is interested in minuscule details and this channel is perfect at that. Keep up the good work!
Wow and this entire time I thought you have a fancy tool that had HDMI in and out to measure frames per second. Thanks for all your hard work! I always appreciate your technical analysis on console games.
That's good to hear you recorded at 1080p, 60 fps, and *lossless* videos to give as accurate of a comparison as possible. I imagine that you need to have a very fast processor (perhaps a core i7 and maybe a dual graphics cards set up to be able to render high quality video; especially when doing the console comparison? It's weird that how current gen (PS4, Xbox One) games are sometimes locked at 30 fps, 1080p... Why do developers do that? It's obvious that games can now run on consoles at 60 fps, 1080p. And when like IGN, GameTrailers, GameSpot, etc do these comparison videos, are they as technical and accurate as you guys? I also notice you do not have the newer versions of the PS3. Why is that? Isn't the super slim model more power efficient and overall performs betters and more smoothly?
+Shadow Fox Infinite With all the RAM available shouldn't be too hard to dump from RAM to HD. But everyone should have SSD's now. Hard drives are antiquated tech. I have a couple 4TB platters but will be swapping them out for a few 2TB SSD's soon.
I have a feeling that if this channel wasn't doing this a lot of people wouldn't be arguing over frame rate or resolution. I personally am very interested in seeing the differences.
Does one of these methods still work, if the game is running above 60fps (maybe like 120fps)? Or is this impossible, as you are capturing the video at 60fps?
I love these kind of videos thank you I would love to see a video on how you count pixels I just can't wrap my head around it especially cuz of the scalers that are in TVs and consoles etc...
+DigitalFoundry please do a technical analysis of the Borderlands 2 PS Vita patch that was issued on October 29th and include areas that are known to cause problems for that version of the game such as Sanctuary.
Where can I download FPSGui please I would like to use this for my own analysis of games I have please thanks. PS the link to the article on the eurogamer website says it is down, please bring back up thanks
Oh wow. I've seen those red lines on the margins of your video before but wondered what they were. A part of me thought you guys were overclocking your graphics cards too far and they were artifacting. Lol. Good to know they represent screen tearing.
+Md Ray The only GPU acceleration is likely in the pixel comparisons for the analysis, otherwise GPU's are useless for exporting videos without effects.
+DigitalFoundry Hi guys great video and piece of software, this is really a very grounded benchmark, is great that you not limit yourself to higher end harware as well as alot of user not only have budget components, but don't have >60hz screens. Anyway i was wondering if you have other videos that explain tearing as well as this showed, i have been a pc gamer for over 4 years however i didn't know that tearing happened below 60fps, ( i tough it was only if you go beyond it) thhe tech that you used to show diference in frames in 60fps was also a little complicated, and i don't understand why, why isn't it as the 30 fps and shows that lets say a 59 fps, you have at the bottom black beer that couldn't bee completely refreshed?
Regarding consoles (Xbox One/PS4), what part of the console determines the fps output? Also, what is the average fps output of consoles, is it 60 fps or...??
Is there any similar programs for others to use? cause i want to make a video framerate difference between titan X maxwell with 1080 similar to how you make the framerate difference videos for consoles. Or can we regular users only use msi afterburner to show the difference rather than a program like this one to show a proper graph?
is FPSGui publicly released? I do similar content as you guys, and I want to show my 970's power in some games, and I don't necessarily like the overlays provided by multiple programs.

Grayson Wolowicz I thought you were implying they were already biased. Yup, I feel you, it's why I like these guys.
An update of the current workflow would be great! How much has the software improved, any new additions to it? Or is it pretty much the same.
What an impressive piece of software.
piece*
Md Ray Haha, yes... :-)
I hat it
Amazing video, really informative. I didn't know you guys were so thorough.
This is the only channel where I consistently watch every single video because it's just that informative. Thanks DF for all the wonderful work!
How people manage to make Fanboy wars on a video with no gameplay is confusing as fuck...
Very interesting! I really appreciate the hard work you go to to present us with these technical analysis videos. Thank you for showing us how it all works!
Oh my god. This is why I love you guys!
Ure here!?
Very cool stuff you showed us. Transparency gives us security and you a lot of trust. I wish that more reviewers would work more precise like you do.
Thanks for this video.
The Wichard 5: FPS Hunt
+|Celsius| why 5?
why 5
@Tech Life Gaming Hindi how would i know
check the internet
@Tech Life Gaming Hindi you cant unless a game has an fps counter like fortnite
If anyone doubted DF credibility then they need to watch this.
So the frametimes you show are related to how long the frame stays on screen, not how long it took to render. That was something I was curious about because without the ability to hook into the engine to know I wondered how you got that value.
Gotta love how Digital Foundry is embracing transparency. Good job.
Will this tool ever be released? It's been 4 years since this was first uploaded and the closest we have is trdrop which doesn't have as much customisability. I'd love to use FPSgui
more hardcore than a sasha grey scene
haha holy shit dude thats shots fired right there
+CarlosG 0619 On my chest. aaahhh!
ThoughtfulThug terry nova isn't brazilian
Ventus Θ Never knew anything about Terry Nova. Had to look it up. I prefer Mia Khalifa.
Ventus Θ LMAO you got some strong hostility against some porn stars! Is it too late to take your medication?
Amazing work that you guys do on this channel. I'm always the guy that is interested in minuscule details and this channel is perfect at that. Keep up the good work!
Wow and this entire time I thought you have a fancy tool that had HDMI in and out to measure frames per second. Thanks for all your hard work! I always appreciate your technical analysis on console games.
This really cool software.
I really wish DigitalFoundry made this software available. I have tons of retro games I want to run frame rate tests of for unique comparisons.
This was a really interesting video. Keep more of those coming.
Best video ever from Digital Foundry! Great work pal for your outstanding contribution to the industry!!!
Wow that is a awesome software. I wish i can have a copy of that so i can analyse PC games being run by my laptop that has below minimum requirements.
That's good to hear you recorded at 1080p, 60 fps, and *lossless* videos to give as accurate of a comparison as possible.

I also notice you do not have the newer versions of the PS3.
Why is that?
Isn't the super slim model more power efficient and overall performs betters and more smoothly?
Serious proper digital analysis. You have proved your credibility in the eyes of this multimedia programmer.
That is one snazzy program. Nice work guys. The right side kind of looks based on Visual Studio.
What I *wouldn't* give to have a copy of this software...
amazingly interesting, i discovered digitafoundry not too long ago and i must say they are spot on every time...awesome work guys!
Far more complex then I had thought. Nice job!
Thank you Richard for all the amazing work you're all doing!
What capture card is used to capture the footage?
+xWOC I second this question...
A very expensive one!
+Emad Miah lol! I say pure bullshit to that XD
+xWOC A Blackmagicdesign card can do this fairly accurately at a full lossless dump- to the point where you NEED SSD's to capture to.
+Shadow Fox Infinite With all the RAM available shouldn't be too hard to dump from RAM to HD. But everyone should have SSD's now. Hard drives are antiquated tech. I have a couple 4TB platters but will be swapping them out for a few 2TB SSD's soon.
IGN and others really appreciate your work, DF. They would be nothing without you.
I appreciate the work you guys do here.
TH-cam decided to recommend this video to me today, and I'm glad it did.
nice, well done. I think you guys are the only *factual* video game news source. The rest like ign is mostly advertisements and opinions.
That time when you have that question you think a lot of people would ask and the team makes a quality video to answer it .
Wow thats really quite simple and easy. Awesome stuff keep doing your work we love it.
I have a feeling that if this channel wasn't doing this a lot of people wouldn't be arguing over frame rate or resolution. I personally am very interested in seeing the differences.
So what is the actual name of this "very expensive capture card"????
+Saphir3000 PotatoHD
+mrsnoo86 top kek
+Saphir3000 go to the shop and tell them to give you the very expensive capture card
+Saphir3000 It's probably an internal capture card from the likes of Black Magic or something simlair
+Saphir3000 Elgato HD 60, the best one at the momento. Make sure you buy one that records at 60fps
What a nice job you've been doing there! Congrats!
Love this channel; genuine analysis without any over bearing bias in favour of console or PC hardware
where can i get this "FPSGui"?
wow, i didn't expect you guys would develop your own tools for this.
Ah lovely and trusty Digital foundry.
Cheers guys
I was always wondering how you guys measure FPS in console games. Thank you for explaining.
I really like that screen-tear feature, cool stuff!
I'd love to see the tools used for counting pixels, too. The analysis done on Halo 5 was very impressive.
i was actually wondering how you did these tests (mostly for pc tho). keep up the good work.
awesome work guys
You've got a nice voice, Richard! :)
So what are you guys using to capture high quality lossless raw gameplay footage?? Please share or sell if you own it!
Nice video DF!! Keep up the good work :)
this is a great look inside. any change we can get a better look at the actual capture process? how do you ensure the same movement, etc?
Great work DF!! keep up!!!
just another reason Digital Foundry is the best. Thank for all your hard work
That's pretty awesome. Good job guys
can you tell us about the name of lossless capture card?
holy fak
the file sizes out of this card must be as large as fraps o_O
Any chance you guys may release the program for the public? I wouldn't mind paying $10 or $20 for it.
Does one of these methods still work, if the game is running above 60fps (maybe like 120fps)? Or is this impossible, as you are capturing the video at 60fps?
very nice insider ! thanks guys ! appreciate
I love these kind of videos thank you I would love to see a video on how you count pixels I just can't wrap my head around it especially cuz of the scalers that are in TVs and consoles etc...
Will you guys ever sell this piece of software? Seems extremely difficult to make.
finally i saw the legend Richard.
love you man, no homo.
this channel wouldnt be like this without you.
Great video ! Very instructive, very professional, I like that a lot !
Remember you from the early 90s C+VG and your preview of the new SNES...or Super Famicom as you called it then.
Digital FAWNDWY
Very helpful tool for consoles performance analysis.☺
Great work Digital Foundry!
Very awesome tools i've been wanting to see these tools for a while now. Very cool setup.
You guys are the greatest at what you do!!!!
Great tools-great work from you guy's Keep it up.We subscribers are thankfull!!! :)
How can I donwload the program he showed, FPS Gui?
Congrats! Great work!
+DigitalFoundry please do a technical analysis of the Borderlands 2 PS Vita patch that was issued on October 29th and include areas that are known to cause problems for that version of the game such as Sanctuary.
Where can I download FPSGui please I would like to use this for my own analysis of games I have please thanks. PS the link to the article on the eurogamer website says it is down, please bring back up thanks
it's a sub from me great channel very informative and I enjoy your professionalism
No way to get this program,right?
Oh wow. I've seen those red lines on the margins of your video before but wondered what they were. A part of me thought you guys were overclocking your graphics cards too far and they were artifacting. Lol. Good to know they represent screen tearing.
I've been waiting for this video like forever! ;))
This is a great vid. I've always wondered what software that's used for the analysis.
Thanks for the video.
Very interesting. Wonder what the spec of the machine is to render the videos...
probably a Titan X
+Md Ray with an i7 4790K or an X99 i7...
+Md Ray The only GPU acceleration is likely in the pixel comparisons for the analysis, otherwise GPU's are useless for exporting videos without effects.
+Spencer Davies maybe he have a nvidia quadro
it's probably a work pc. I wouldn't be surprised if he just swapped the CPU and used the integrated graphics. maybe an i3 those are great for editing.
what kind of capture card? It must be some beast if you record raw footage. That MGS file is 3GB and least 29 sec... that is big
+DigitalFoundry Hi guys great video and piece of software, this is really a very grounded benchmark, is great that you not limit yourself to higher end harware as well as alot of user not only have budget components, but don't have >60hz screens.
Anyway i was wondering if you have other videos that explain tearing as well as this showed, i have been a pc gamer for over 4 years however i didn't know that tearing happened below 60fps, ( i tough it was only if you go beyond it) thhe tech that you used to show diference in frames in 60fps was also a little complicated, and i don't understand why, why isn't it as the 30 fps and shows that lets say a 59 fps, you have at the bottom black beer that couldn't bee completely refreshed?
I've wondered this for so long
So you guys created FPSGui yourself? That's an impressive program
Thank you DF!
You're the best !
Nice, it takes effort to make these videos
Can you View the difference in a lostless video vs Elgato60 ?
You guys are the best!
Regarding consoles (Xbox One/PS4), what part of the console determines the fps output? Also, what is the average fps output of consoles, is it 60 fps or...??
Is there any similar programs for others to use? cause i want to make a video framerate difference between titan X maxwell with 1080 similar to how you make the framerate difference videos for consoles.

dear sir,may i know that pc monitor's brand name and size..?
Nice work
What a amazing program.
Do you guys made this program and what "very expensive capture card" do you guys use?
Shoosh tis a secret.
beersh0uldbefree :D
He's the Director and his last name is ''Leadbetter''. If you need more evidence for us us living in a simulation, I don't know what to tell you.
Beautiful video, Thanks for all the afford.
Great Video, thanks for these informations
Thanks for this I actually found it really interesting! :)
