 Overclocked
Our standard battery of tests is getting a little dated and will likely be changed in the near future to include more modern games and tests. Of course every revision of our test platform requires a lot of extra testing on a set of video cards to get a comparison so it won’t happen overnight nor will it be easy to do. For now, the Intel CPU and motherboard used in ATI tests and the nForce 790i Ultra SLI used in NVIDIA card tests is the fastest CPU on the market today, meaning that it will likely not change.
