NVPerfKit is a comprehensive suite of performance tools to help debug and profile OpenGL and Direct3D applications. NVPerfKit will give you access to low-level performance counters inside the driver and hardware counters inside the GPU itself. The counters can be used to determine exactly how your application is using the GPU, identify performance issues, and confirm that performance problems have been resolved.
The performance counters are available directly in your OpenGL and DirectX applications and in tools such as Intel VTune and Graphic Remedy?s gDEBugger via the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Performance Data Helper (PDH) interface. A plug-in supporting Microsoft PIX for Windows is also provided, giving you low-latency access to NVPerfKit performance counters directly from the driver.
NVPerfKit consists of the following components:
- Instrumented Driver
- Interfaces with graphics API and GPU to provide performance counter data
- Automatically installed by NVPerfKit installer
- NVPerfHUD
- Advanced real-time analysis of Direct3D applications
- NVPerfSDK
- API for accessing GPU signals in your applications
- Sample code and helper classes for OpenGL and DirectX applications
- NVIDIA Developer Control Panel and instrumented driver
- NVIDIA Plug-in for Microsoft PIX for Windows
- GLExpert
- Debug OpenGL usage errors and performance issues
- Support for PerfMon, Intel VTune, gDEBugger, and other analysis tools
- gDEBugger 30-day trial version

FurMark 1.6.0 is a multi-functional tool which can offer you many benefits. It is a small and very easy to use OpenGL benchmark basically focused on fur rendering. The applications rendering algorithm is highly multipass (100 passes) and each pass (or layer) uses a GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) vertex / pixel shader to make the hairs finer and finer.
To increase the fur realism, two dynamic lights are used for self shadowing. The benchmark windows will offer several options allowing the user to tweak the rendering: fullscreen / windowed mode, window size, MSAA selection, duration. The benchmark also includes a GPU Burner mode (stability test). FurMark is a freeware, please read the EULA.txt before use. If you wish to contact the author, just send an email to jegx[AT]ozone3d[DOT]net and add [FURMARK] to the mail subject.
FurMark is a very intensive OpenGL benchmark that uses fur rendering algorithms to measure the performance of the graphics card. Fur rendering is especially adapted to overheat the GPU and that's why FurMark is also a perfect stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.
The benchmark offers several options allowing the user to tweak the rendering: fullscreen / windowed mode, MSAA selection, window size, duration. This benchmark requires an OpenGL 2.0 compliant graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 5/6/7/8 (and higher), AMD/ATI Radeon 9600 (and higher) or a S3 Graphics Chrome 400 series with the latest graphics drivers.
Major Features:
1. Benchmark mode or stability test mode (for overclockers)
2. GPU temperature monitoring and recording in a file
3. Fullscreen or windowed for each type of run mode
4. Window size selection (standard or custom)
5. MSAA samples selection
6. Benchmarking parameters: time based or frames based
7. Contest Mode
