Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

qVDPAUtest 0.5.1

Video Test: 1280x720 MPEG Decoding

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 87 public results since 29 April 2012 with the latest data as of 26 May 2020.

Additional benchmark metrics will come after OpenBenchmarking.org has collected a sufficient data-set.
