I was just browsing the VGA comparison charts, http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html, and I can't figure out the results. Are the testing methods not comparable to the ways we test?
The results for 3DMark 06 are not anywhere close to those found by the consumer. Anyone know where the discrepancy is?
Also, results for FEAR, AOE3, COD2, etc, all seem WAY WAY WAY too low. I realize that the settings are on max details, however one would think that the results wouldn't be that low. Also, SLI configurations often perform WORSE then single card solutions in these tests. Anyone have any ideas? because as far as I can tell Toms wasted a lot of time doing these tests, yeah they show relative performance, I guess, but still...
