We now use the “High” profiles for all games or their respective equivalent at all resolutions. To gauge performance levels which are easily reproduced time after time, by both ourselves and our readers, we now stick strictly to games default profiles. Killawatt style electricity usage meter wall plug.You should then look at the percentage improvement from your current hardware to the hardware tested here to give you a ballpark figure of how much of an upgrade this will provide you with. If you’re looking to build a new system, you should benchmark your current PC using the benchmarks available to you.
We encourage you to not just look at how one product compares to any other, but how it compares to your own. Links are provided below, as well as the settings we use. Remember that your choice of a graphics card, CPU, the silicon lottery, and other factors can yield different numbers, and there’s always a margin for error when using any software. When it comes to our benchmarks in our reviews, the benchmarks are pretty self-explanatory and kept as simple as possible, although there are a few exceptions. Blank results are from new benchmarks where we haven’t been able to benchmark previously reviewed cards yet. This means that our new reviews aren’t always comparable to those of older reviews, so please compare the testing methodology on older reviews should you be trying to compare them with newer ones.

Furthermore, we update our test bench to newer and more relevant hardware.
These can be driver updates, Windows updates, game patches, and more all of which have an impact on performance figures. As such, we re-test older hardware to reflect changes over time. We continue to update our testing methods around once per year.
