To test today we are using the latest Forceware 340.52 drivers and Catalyst 14.7 beta drivers.
We are using one of our brand new test rigs supplied by DINOPC and built to our specifications.

We perform generally under real world conditions, meaning KitGuru tests games across five closely matched runs and then average out the results to get an accurate median figure. If we use scripted benchmarks, they are mentioned on the relevant page.
