We test on Windows XP because that's what the majority of gamers use. According to our GPU-Z results database, only ~25% use Vista, which is actually more than I expected but still nowhere near some serious market share.
The "single" result was achieved by disabling SLI in the NVIDIA control panel.
- All video card results were obtained on this exact system with the exact same configuration.
- All games were set to their highest quality setting
- 1024 x 768, No Anti-aliasing, No anisotropic filtering. This is a standard resolution without demanding display settings.
- 1280 x 1024, 2x Anti-aliasing, 8x anisotropic filtering. Common resolution for most gamer flatscreens today. A bit of eye candy turned on in the drivers.
- 1600 x 1200, 4x Anti-aliasing, 16x anisotropic filter. Highest non-widescreen resolution available to a wide range of users. Very good looking driver graphics settings.
- 2048 x 1536, 4x Anti-aliasing, 16x anisotropic filter. Highest non-widescreen resolution available to any consumer video card. Very good looking driver graphics settings.
