I am working on a streaming multimedia application that pushes a lot of data to the graphics card at startup. The CPU does very little at a time when the data is being pushed, it is idle with almost zero use.
I would like to keep track of which machines are struggling to push the raw data, and which ones can handle it so that I can get the minimum recommended specification for our customers' equipment.
I found that a PC with PCIe 1.1 x16 slots struggles with the raw data that is clicked on the graphics card.
My development computer has a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, and it has no problem copying a lot of data that is first transferred to a graphics card.
I need numbers to prove (or disprove) my point.
What I would like to define is:
What type of slot is a graphics card? What is the speed of this slot? Gfx Card Name Gfx Card Driver Version
But most importantly, the data flow through the PCIe slot - for example, if I can show that the PCIe bus is maximized by data, I can point it out like a bottleneck.
I know that system memory speed is also a factor here, for example. data is transferred from RAM via the PCIe bus to the video card, how can I determine the speed of the system memory?
Finally, I write in unmanaged C ++, so access to .NET libraries is not an option.
