I didn't think people in this forum section would be interested in this...not many can compile this.

Why not? Just requires a compiler like Visual Studio 2015 community (free for anyone) Someone can also host the files somewhere if needed. But anyway, it shows that its not impossible to benchmark these applications (DX12 and UWP) like many people believe.

It looks like they provide builds (at least a 64-bit one) in the release section on github. I haven't personally checked it out though.

someone actually thought it would have been impossible to bench under dx12? D:

Not benchmark a "game", but benchmark below the game, similar to FCAT. FCAT does not work in DX12.

This tool looks like it would fill this void, plus some.

Well all of [H] at least does yes.

I'm really leery of [H]'s latest "review without any benching" campaign. Remember the slower but smoother campaign when AMD had the halo crown? Could this be the same type of thing to counter DX12 benchmarks because it looks like AMD is going to own this API?

Oh and BTW there are pre-compiled versions in the releases:
