A benchmark tool that just runs certain madVR algorithms at max speed and gives you a FPS would give you a much more useful and accurate representation of actual GPU performance.
Something like that actually once existed, IIRC it was a special madVR version that just rendered to the screen at max performance, instead of being held up by VSYNC. But alas, a long time ago. Too bad madshi has so little time these days so we don't have toys like this anymore.
