Test Setup
As with all our graphics card tests, we use a number of benchmarking utilities and programs to squeeze out every last frame possible from the card whilst placing it under immense pressure. We do this in our separate testing rig as detailed below which supports AMD and Nvidia cards to give the fairest tests possible.
