EVGA e-GeForce 7600GS 512MB Video Card Review :: Test Setup and Procedure

Author: Benjamin Sun · 08-01-2006 · Category: Hardware - Video Cards

With the recent release of AMD's AM2 platform, we recently moved our test platform to a 5000+ CPU; 2GB of memory, dual Raptor HDDs in RAID 0 mode and added Oblivion and 3Dmark06 to our test suite. I'd like to add another game test, but am waiting for a good game to add to the suite.
