Civilization VI ingame benchmark feature

[Adeptguy]

Okay so I was wondering, since I read that civ 6 has a benchmarking tool built inside, where the file for benchmarking is stored? Nobody talks about the benchmark file location.

pc>documents>MyGames>Sid Meier's Civilization VI>logs you will find the benchmark saved in there on a win 10 setup, 7 and 8 should be similiar paths.

Ah okay thanks I found it, though honestly I couldn't understand a thing or two about what is shown to me inside the file. It's just a huge list of numbers that I cannot put together to see what they really mean. Example:
"5.218.065
5.723.408
4.039.956
4.914.054
3.762.754
6.701.703
3.789.973
3.637.619
4.278.936
4.952.728
4.692.810
4.955.766"

And so on... Wtf this doesn't help me at all...

I think it's number of ms (milliseconds) used per frame. In my case (i7-3770+R290X@2560x1600) starts with:

24.94797
24.84995
21.42163
21.33327
24.73351
27.97840
28.25078
27.12468
27.25751

So one frame too roughly 25ms to create (or so I read it), which equals to roughly 40 fps (1000/25 = 40fps). Best explanation I can come up with on my own.. and well, the text in the benchmark also said it ;-)

Well, the dialog that you had to dismiss to exit the benchmarker said "seconds per turn" and while it was running, it counted turns and seconds passed, so I'm guessing that's what was shown, nothing to do with fps or ms/f. Mine counted up to 4 or 5 turns, gave me an average seconds per turn of 12.4 or so, and then in the CSV I had 5 numbers listed, averaging 12.4. I believe it means this to be a meta-score, it's not specifically graphics or memory, it's all of it, since it simulates gameplay and then quantifies how long it takes to get through a scripted set of commands, averaging the time it takes to get through those commands by turn. To further benchmark my numbers to yours, I run an Alienware Aurora R7 with 32 gigs ddr5 and a gtx1080.
