We've used our usual testbed for the purposes of this review:
- Intel Core 2 QX9650 @ 3.0 GHz
- ASUS Striker 2 Extreme II NVIDIA 790i SLI
- OCZ PC-3 16000 Platinum EB
- PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 1KW-SR
- Western Digital WD1500AHFD RaptorX
- Windows Vista x64 Ultimate SP1
- NVIDIA ForceWare 177.79
- ATI Catalyst 8.9 Press
Also, we used the 1680x1050 resolution, most suited for mainstream cards, and currently used on 20’’ and 22’’ LCD displays that dominate the market.
