Diagnostics? Probably none for us mere users. Benchmarks? xBench CineBench Geekbench does not test the video card. Many games also have a demo or flyby mode that reports the frame rates and many people use that as a benchmark.

I was told to create multiple instances of Apple's Chess (Command-D will duplicate what's needed) and then set the preferences for each for computer vs. computer. fwiw.
