The source is not uploaded yet, but you can download the app from its github page:
Https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/OCAT/releases

It works with any hardware, not only AMD's. It supports D3D9, OpenGL, D3D11, D3D12 and Vulkan.

The best thing about Fraps is its benchmark tool, there is no other user friendly benchmark tool that lets you export the results to a spreadsheet and draw charts with them.

Well, this new tool pushes that feature to a whole new level, providing a lot more data.

Time to put Fraps to rest!

RazorbackDB · Dec 10, 2016

It's not really anything new, it's a GUI for presentmon, you are right about it being more user friendly.

Didn't presentmon only work with D3D10, 11 and 12?

No D3D9, OpenGL or Vulkan.

How do you get the framerate from those numbers? do you need todo some calculation or can you export framerates in numbers straight away (cant see any framerate column)

fester · Dec 10, 2016

Great timing as I was annoyed with how long it's been since Fraps was last updated and recently started looking for a decent replacement.

1000000 / Time Between Presents

Don't know why it says milliseconds but they are clearly nanoseconds.

kuYuri · Dec 10, 2016

Does this have a framerate counter like fraps that shows on screen?

They're microseconds (unless they're somehow running Witcher 3 at 60,000 fps). Technically they should be using µ as a prefix, but it's an understandable error, and unlikely to cause any issues once people actually look at the results.

Yes.

My bad, I skipped from 10^-3 to 10^-9.

DX9 and Vulkan yes, not sure about OpenGL, but being present mon the core of OCAT I would asume yes.

Baleoce · Dec 10, 2016

Thanks, I'll check this out.

EDIT - That's pretty funny, I just chose a custom installation directory, and it just went nope, and installed it in the default place anyway xD

Easy_D · Dec 10, 2016

Well. Thank you very very much, AMD.

Yes.

Thanks!

This is a good way to promote PresentMon [great open source monitoring tool]. AMD has taken it [since licence allows for that] and built a custom GUI over it.

Great for idiots like me, I like a nice GUI

To be fair I could use Presentmon without issue but I'm also a lazy bastard, this is great

Baleoce · Dec 10, 2016

Is this purely for benchmarking or does it capture as well? The "fraps clone" bit is throwing me off. I've installed it, but it just seems to do benchmarking.

DSix · Dec 10, 2016

Does it capture gameplay videos ? You know, the main FRAPS feature.

That is what relive is for

luca_29_bg · Dec 10, 2016

doesn't work on pcsx2, at least for me.

HP_Wuvcraft · Dec 10, 2016

Does it do screenshots like FRAPS?

How exactly do you get the framerate counter to show up?

Funny. It hasn't worked on any of the 10+ games I've tried across Steam, UWP and Origin.. DX11 or DX12...

It still has bugs so it may not work everywhere yet.

The Dear Leader · Dec 10, 2016

Does it have a screenshot hotkey like FRAPS?

So it's actually not time to put fraps to rest.

pager99 · Dec 10, 2016

can someone show me how to use this?sorry im a noob

Mifec said:

Or you can just use presentmon.

Robottiimu2000 · Dec 10, 2016

So why is this better than OBS?

chrislowe · Dec 10, 2016

I tried hitting F11 in game, but nothing happened... Then I noticed you had to push Start-button before hitting F11, no idea why they thought that would be a good idea.

Imported the CSV into Google Sheets, and got a average fps of 60.45 in Far Cry 4 at 1080P Ultra.

Gonna try more games later

chrislowe · Dec 11, 2016

A little tip is to turn off ocat when you dont use it.

I saw the gpu was never going below 900MHz which was odd, until I turned off ocat, and it dropped to 300MHz as usual.

FunkyDealer · Dec 11, 2016

Seems pretty cool. It's going to be interesting to see how it'll change and improve with time.

The way the OP was written I thought this tool was a new capture software. Back to OBT it is.

DarkestHour · Dec 11, 2016

Pretty cool. Will have to check it out.

Who still uses FRAPS in this day and age to capture video?

Unless you're capturing lossless samples to analyse, you'd be using some sort of hardware encoder in order to reduce the load and storage requirements.

That's what ReLive is for and it works well from what I've heard.
