+# gputhroughput
+
+These benchmarks test your GPU for the most part. The QML part is mostly there
+to set things up and the benchmark will fill the graphics pipeline with enough
+stuff to make it suffer.
+
+**Note**! These tests are only designed to be used with the sustained-fps shell.
+
+The purpose of these benchmarks is to give an indication how how much one can
+expect to put on screen, and to decide how big the screen can actually be.
+Especially in the embedded space where a low end chip may have to drive an HD
+display, these tests can help to illustrate if the GPU is up to the task or not.
+
+Run them in --fullscreen to get the right numbers. 1 means your in trouble. 2 means
+you can manage with a lot of work. 4 and above and you should be good shape, GPU-wise.
