Testing Methodology

We bench using Windows XP Service Pack 2, and the latest video card drivers. The driver settings were left at default, and transparency-sampling anti-aliasing was left off. We try to use our own timedemos whenever possible, but will use the in-game timedemo or record a few minutes of gameplay using FRAPS if that's not an option. All benchmarking results are the average of three tests. In some instances, if we've deemed a game unplayable with a card at a certain setting, we've recorded the score as a 0.
