Test Setup

For this evaluation we are using a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard. We are using an Intel Core 2 Duo X6800 processor running at 2.93 GHz, and 2GB of OCZ DDR2-800 memory with 4-4-4-12 timings. We are using the latest chipset drivers available and the latest BIOS at time of evaluation.

Video Card Comparison Setup

For this comparison we are using stock, default clock speeds on all video cards. So keep in mind that factory overclocked video cards may show slightly higher performance than what you see here. This was done to give everyone a fair showing and see how the GPUs will scale. We are using Windows Vista Ultimate x64 throughout.

Please be aware we test our video cards a bit differently from what is the norm. We concentrate on examining the real-world gameplay that each video card provides. The Highest Playable section shows the best Image Quality delivered at a playable frame rate.
