Are there any programs you can download to run a test for frames per second like a benchmark? How do you test a new video card? If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.
 
If there is, it will be on mad onion's site. Martin Vote if you found this post helpful please!!
 
Frames P second = FRAPS ........
Good program for showing your FRA Per Sec
while software program / game is running.


You also asked: "How do you test a new video card?"

Like many, I do use Mad onions 3DMark 2000 & also -
3DMARK 2001, which is a much tougher test.


This is an industry standard benchmark, and you can compare your results to thousands of others with similar systems to see how your computer is tuned up.
 
Thanks for the Information. I purchased an Extasy Geforce2 GTS 32 MB DDR (OEM), Video out only, from newegg.com and seems to work awfully good for a $49.99 video card. I tried it out with a couple games and it looked pretty good. I was surprised how well it worked with an Asus TUSL2-C Motherboard and a 1.2 Gig Celeron.
