Test Setup and Methodology
Our testing setup for this review includes the hardware as listed in the table below. The NVIDIA drivers that were used were version 335.23 and the AMD drivers that were used were version 13.12. All tests were performed at a resolution of 1920 x 1080, which is the most common amongst gamers at the present time. We also plan to incorporate tri-monitor and 4K resolutions in the future, providing we can obtain a sponsor for such setups. Plans to incorporate additional graphics cards for comparison are in place and the charts will progress and grow as samples are obtained. We will always use the latest official drivers available at the time of testing. All graphics settings are set in-game with no enhancements or tweaks within each graphics card’s respective driver control panel.
Take a look at some additional information obtained with TechPowerUp’s graphics card information and monitoring utility, GPU-Z (v0.7.7).
