Hardware.Info: Frametime tests for GPUs

Published: | Posted By:

The cult of Scott has claimed another victim!

We published an article about a new way of testing graphics card performance in video games. Traditionally, graphics cards performance has been expressed in frames per second. The assumption has always been, the more fps your graphics card is capable of, the better video games will perform. But is it really that simple? Not quite so, it turns out. To really determine how a graphics card handles a video game, the average fps is not an adequate measure of performance, and you need more detail. Frametime tests provide exactly that. 

I'm all for a new way to test video card performance but many technical people forget that non-technical folks are the ones reading your stuff and when things are confusing and/or different they are not likely to listen.

Of course I should heed my own warning but, I'll save that for another time
