Video Card Test

I been watching this guy on youtube called Linus Sebastian at NCIX.com where he talks about computer hardware. He is able to use many different programs to test/benchmark his new hardware which makes guessing not an option (this is a good this). One good software he uses is called Fraps. Fraps does a couple of things like read how many frame rate per sercond (FPS) your game or video is playing, and record your screen. I haven't tried recording my screen but I wonder how it compares to Camtasia. Anyways what I used it for was to test how many FPS my computer runs a game or youtube video and it sucks. I need a new video card or a computer entirely. But its a useful software that happened to fall on my lap.
