The test system used in this review is the same as used in all standard motherboards.org reviews. To be fair, the target market for this video card is not the X850XT PE or the S18 GammaChrome in SLI mode. S3's partners are selling the GammaChrome for under $100, so keep that in mind when comparing the card to the others being tested.
