    Does anyone know a good program that I can use to check out the min/max/avg framerates of programs that I use? (And preferrably something easy to use) I want to try benchmarking out the new Nvidia Drivers that Nvidia Released from the other custom releases.

    I have yet to use 3dMark, so I will probably give that a go later on.

    Hehehe, I kind of dislike how fraps makes an excel file to show results.
    Anything else?

    It also saves all the results in a file called FRAPSLOG.txt in the fraps folder that is easier to deal with compared to all the excel files.

    Give it a go ;) :D

    Hope this helps

    Well I've only ever used fraps ;)
    and I thought your main issue was that you didn't like the excel results

    However, I have heard of another benchmarking software called SmartFPS, Maybe you can google that and give it a try

    If you REALLY want to avoid fraps ;)
    Good luck :D :D :D

    Well, I assume there has got to be something that can detect and record framerate results and is open source. I just don't know what it is/if it exists.
