OpenGL Geometry Benchmark

OpenGL Geometry Benchmark is designed to provide you with a simple method for testing the performance of your OpenGL graphics card. Its main purpose is to assess the geometry power of various video cards by running a series of tests that can evaluate the capabilities of your GPU.

The tests that OpenGL Geometry Benchmark includes measure the transform and the lighting power of your graphical processing unit. The application can generate a combination of techniques, lists and strips formats, lights, interleaving and streaming vertex formats, all to help you test whether the OpenGL API is working properly on your PC or not.

At each run, you are prompted to choose the tests you want it to perform and go through the configuration options. Multiple geometry transfer methods are available and you can easily select the ones you want to test. Depending on your choices, the analysis can last more or less time.

OpenGL Geometry Benchmark can be set to use the nVidia and ATI extensions and run tests on static and dynamic vertex array objects and ranges. Please note that the program is not aimed at benchmarking texturing capabilities.

In order to increase the accuracy of the test results, is is advisable to avoid running the banchmark application while other programs are running in the background.

Once the testing process is finished (or interrupted by the user), the application automatically saves a report locally, which you can use to compare results with the ones of systems that have similar hardware configurations.

In conclusion, whether you are trying to determine the causes why some applications or games cannot run on your PC or want to test the overall performance of your GPU card in rendering 2D and 3D graphics, OpenGL Geometry Benchmark can be of assistance.
