Realtime 3D Performance Management System

A real-time performance management system for controlling rendering performance and quality of a 3-D software run, by making quantifiable choices by a user, the system comprising:

• a user device having at least one graphics processing unit (GPU) and at least one central processing unit (CPU), said user device is configured to:
• launch, a game by the user, to initiate a hardware scan process of the user device in which the user wants to play;
• scan, the current running setup to assess game features performance on the installed user device hardware;
• obtain a total performance budget for both the GPU and the CPU, reflecting the maximum capacity of the hardware;
• check the current budget allocation for GPU and CPU to see how resources are being used;
• display and run the game with high frame rates and smooth gameplay to enhance user experience, if the allocation is less than the total budget;
• display and run the game with reduced frame rates and performance, as visual fidelity increases, if the allocation is more than the total budget;
• and
• adjust, by the user, the graphics settings to increase or decrease the allocation.
