Processor: Intel Q9300
Case: Open Air test bed
Power Supply: OCZ GameXStream GXS600 SLI-Ready
Memory: 2x1GB Supertalent DDR3-1600 (1333MHz@ 7-7-7-20-1T)

All tests were conducted under the same testbed and of course using the same version of graphics driver. Many games and applications were used to evaluate each graphics card's performance. In addition we used FRAPS software to measure in game performance when needed.
