FrameView

Considering that modern graphic cards are a relatively great investment, you want to make sure that the one you choose can deliver the performance you want for at least a couple of years. This is where benchmark tools come in handy, as they can show you how your current graphic card rates among the newest releases.   
FrameView is a GPU benchmark tool designed by NVIDIA that can provide valuable information about the frame rates, performance per watt, power usage or frame times as provided by the system's graphic card.

Allows you to perform various performance testing

According to the developer, the tool can collect over 40 metrics about your GPU that can be exported in a CSV log file. Among the metrics that can be measured via the tool, you can count displayed and rendered frame rate, which have the role of measuring and reporting frames at the beginning and end of the graphics pipeline.
The program can also provide information about the 90th, 95th and 99th percentile frame rates, a metrics commonly used to determine whether the minimum frame rate and time of games are close to the average. In case these numbers are not even remotely close, then the performance is affected and you are likely to experience stuttering.

Lets you check out the power efficiency of the graphic card

Although it may not be the first thing you look at when searching for a new graphic card, the truth is that power efficiency plays an important role. For starters it means better physical comfort for you, as the fans make less noise and emit less heat, which is great during summer.
A GPU that consumes less has lower risks of generating heat and you can get higher clock speeds and better performance overall. At a micro level, a power efficient graphic card entails that you can benefit from more frames for every watt used.

Ensures straightforward data analysis

Last, but not least, FrameView allows you to compare the data with other graphic cards out there via an embedded VBA script so that the analysis is fast and effortless.
