To show performance with the graphics card being the main focus we used the highest end computer system available today including a Core i7-980X CPU, 24GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1866MHz and two 128GB SSD drives in RAID 0 mode. While this card is retailing for $299 with a $35 rebate, this is a video card review not a system review.
