Game Evaluation Setup

Please be aware we test our video cards a bit differently from what is the norm. We concentrate on examining the real-world game play that each video card provides. The Highest Playable section shows the best Image Quality delivered at a playable frame rate. We use a high performance system with a very fast CPU in order to limit possible CPU bottlenecking.

For our game play graphs, we will use the naming convention TR MSAA for Transparency Multisample Anti-Aliasing and TR SSAA to indicate Transparency Supersample Anti-Aliasing.
