Versions:
NVIDIA FrameView 1.8.1 is a lightweight benchmarking utility published by NVIDIA Corporation that enables granular, real-time measurement of frame rates, frame times, GPU and CPU power draw, and performance-per-watt across virtually all modern discrete graphics cards, not just the company’s own. Targeted at hardware reviewers, system builders, overclockers, and enthusiastic gamers who want objective data to validate overclocks, compare driver builds, or judge the impact of in-game settings, the tool overlays a compact telemetry window during DirectX, Vulkan, and OpenGL sessions and logs results to CSV for deeper analysis in Excel or Python. Because it taps into high-resolution performance counters that standard FPS utilities cannot access, FrameView can reveal micro-stutter, 1% and 0.1% low spikes, and transient power excursions that affect smoothness and efficiency, making it equally useful for optimizing esports rigs and for documenting thermal behavior in small-form-factor builds. The program is distributed as a portable executable that does not require installation, so it can be carried on a flash drive to test multiple benches or show floors, and its hardware-agnostic design means it works with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs in the same session, allowing journalists to produce apples-to-apples comparison charts without switching software. Version 1.8.1 refines power-capture alignment and adds automatic log naming, while earlier iterations going back through five public releases have progressively added support for Vulkan VR titles, multi-GPU NUMA topologies, and notebook dGPU/iGPU switching. The utility belongs to the System Utilities / Benchmarking category and is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
