OpenGVS is a cross-platform computer image generation applications programming interface (API) that runs on top of OpenGL, Direct3D (in the works), or SGL. The benchmark gives a final "score" (average frame rate) and a test report header that identifies the specific hardware system configuration under review including significant and relevant rendering factors used during the test such as total number of polygons in entire scene, total number of objects (and subobjects) in the entire scene, total number of CPUs used by the application test and total number and sizes of all texture maps loaded with the test scene.
