A method for quantifying performance of a video interface that is adapted to be installed in a computer system, said video interface including a display driver and a video card, comprising:
- executing a benchmark to send a set of requests to the video interface;
- measuring frames per second displayed on a monitor by the video interface;
- determining resource utilization as a result of execution of the benchmark;
- and
- determining an effective frames per second based on the measured frames per second and the determined resource utilization.
A computer-readable medium having instructions for quantifying performance of a video interface that is adapted to be installed in a computer system, said video interface including a display driver and a video card, comprising:
- executing a benchmark to send a set of requests to the video interface;
- measuring frames per second displayed on a monitor by the video interface;
- determining resource utilization as a result of execution of the benchmark;
- and
- determining an effective frames per second based on the measured frames per second and the determined resource utilization.
A system for quantifying video performance, comprising:
- a computer having a video interface including a display driver and a video card;
- a monitor coupled to the video interface;
- an evaluation module executing in the computer having a benchmark process to send a set of requests to the video interface, measure the frames per second displayed on a monitor by the video interface, determine resource utilization as a result of execution of the benchmark, and determine an effective frames per second based on the measured frames per second and the determined resource utilization.
