Normal FPS?
Author
Just added something into my game engine to count the FPS.
I'm averaging about 1000 FPS, with a single textured cube (12 triangles) that rotates.
Is that about normal for a single cube all by its lonesome?
It all depends on your video card. But for something so simple you would expect a frame rate as high as that.
yeah that's normal. computers are fast. :)
btw: a more useful measure than frames per second is often milliseconds per frame.

That may not even be a very accurate FPS count because at that point, your timing calls might not be too accurate (depending on what you are using).

You know, you really shouldn't care about the framerate of a single textured cube.
I don't really, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't waaaaay out of the ball-park. So, I know now that it does work.

I'm using QueryPerformanceCounter, so I think I'm okay with that.
The timing may be accurate, but it doesn't mean it is meaningful. Drawing a thousand of those boxes isn't going to drop you to 1 fps and might well still leave you around 1000 fps.

Yeah, but that would be expected because the hardware is going to be able to easily render pretty much whatever I throw at it at this point.
I was just wanting to make sure that I hadn't stuffed up somewhere along the way, like one of those errors that can be really small, hard to find, and stuff up everything.

It's a reasonable, though meaningless, number. Meaningless because it has no practical use as a measure of work.
