It was time to update our test suite a little bit for the New Years. The CPU used on this test was the Intel Core i7-2600K unlocked CPU, 4GB of Kingston DDR3-1600MHz DDR3 memory, 2 32GB SSD drives in RAID 0 mode, an ASUS 16X DVD-RW drive and a brand spanking new GeForce GTX 570 from our friends at NVIDIA to allow DX11 tests to be run like 3DMark 11 which I added to our test suite. There are no apple-to-apple comparisons to be had so we show these scores on their own.
