The Benchmark Setup

Before looking at the benchmark scores, we expect certain performance gains from our various test settings. In particular, we anticipate the SDR GeForce to be starved for memory bandwidth at mid to high resolutions. We plan to see performance gains mainly from over-clocking the memory. As for the DDR board, we figure the memory performance should be more than enough and only core settings would alter its overall performance.
