The Guantlet and Settings
We will be running each
of the cards through several synthetic and real world Direct 3D andL benchmarks.
Each run through will be performed at several different resolutions. Each driver's
rendering options (D3D &L) are set to performance and we have set V-Sync
to always OFF with the use of cool bits. No other tweaks are used (at this point).
