CapFrameX

Testing and monitoring your computer's performance is something that many enthusiasts enjoy doing. Knowing how your machine stacks up against other systems is good to know, and with the available capture and analysis tools out there, you can easily spot which components aren't performing up to par. Whether you replace or adjust your setup is up to you, but these tools are here to provide you with the data.

CapFrameX is a tool one can use to capture their frametimes on any game, and analyze their computer's overall performance through the wealth of data this program is capable of logging.

Some users are well aware of the tools one can use to capture their in-game framerates and other similar data. These programs are mainly for a more power-user audience, but any type of user can try their hand at using such software. CapFrameX may not look like the most beginner-friendly tool out there, owing to the number of options and functions that can easily throw a less experienced user off. But upon spending a few minutes with the program, you'll realize it's surprisingly intuitive.

Before booting up a game, it's best to go to the Overlay tab to set the relevant items for your capture. Some commonly-used ones, such as the framerate, frametime, CPU usage, and so on, are already selected, and make for a good starting point. Overlays pertaining to hardware clocks, temperature, and so on can be freely introduced.

Boot up your game, and the overlay will appear. While playing, the tool will log all of the readings for later use, which will be helpful in the analysis process.

Upon capturing your game for a while, you're free to exit and look at the analysis. In-depth graphs detailing your machine's performance will be presented, which will help you better determine and present your benchmark results. Comparisons and aggregations can also be handled here for users who are looking to test multiple systems.

CapFrameX is a tool capable of providing benchmarking enthusiasts with all the data they need, so you delegate the capturing and analysis duties to this solution without a problem.
