HOW WE TESTED

All the cards were tested at three resolutions, measuring minimum and average frame rates. Our test bed consists of an Intel Core i7-6700K, 16GB of Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4 @ 2,666MT/s, a Samsung 850 Evo 500GB, and an 850 Pro 2TB SSD, on Windows 10 Technical Preview. Ashes of the Singularity does not run at 4K with AMD cards on Windows 10 Technical Preview, thus the “DNC” results. Thus, our 14-game average frame rate calculations exclude this 4K result for all cards. We also find the max overclock on each card, and benchmark again in 3DMark’s Fire Strike and Time Spy. We don’t have space to provide results here, but they’re often referred to in the reviews.
