For our review today we are using AMD Catalyst 13.6 Beta and Nvidia Forceware 320.39 drivers.

We built a very high end liquid cooled Core i7 3960x system and overclocked it to 4.4ghz. We paired it up with 16GB of 2,400mhz memory and an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard. We decided to push the testing today, focusing when possible on performance at 2560×1600 via the native resolution of a 30 inch panel.

All the latest BIOS updates and drivers are used during testing. 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.
