How would a benchmark differ from simply trying it? In your examples you don't need a benchmark tool (what would it do?), set the setting and see what the rendering time is. The complexity of the possible settings is the only issue and if you pick what "128 neuron doubling" means for all the other settings, source resolution, destination resolution, etc. it is easy to "benchmark" any GPU you own at "128 neuron doubling".

Like any GPU benchmark the results are highly dependent on the settings used and different users/sites use different settings so it is hard to compare results between users. Maybe a tool that played a stock video using a collection preset options with a particular player and at a specific resolution? It could report the average/min/max rendering times at each setting. This would be easy to do now, no special tool needed, but maybe review sites would include madVR performance if such a tool existed. However, it sounds like a lot of work, certainly more work than the benefit justifies before version 1.0 of madVR.

madVR is changing fast so it isn't time for standard benchmark tools yet.
