While I strive for the utmost accuracy, I am not a professional, and my results should be regarded accordingly. Overpowered CPUs are used, as well as newer, but not always the newest drivers which are more mature and perform better than what was available at the time of launch, in order to get as close to each graphics card’s true potential performance as possible, in the hopes of learning something new about them.
