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.

Graphics Card

Power Supply BFG EX Series 1200 Watt Modular Power Supply

The tools that we use for benchmarking graphics cards include:

  • 3DMark 11
