How We Tested

We’ve locked and loaded seven games for this GPU test. Our five normal games are Battlefield 4, BioShock Infinite, Crysis 3, Metro: Last Light and Batman: Arkham Origins. We’ve also added Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Tomb Raider to our slate of test titles.

We’ve tested at 1,920 x 1,080 to see how the Radeon will handle single screens. We’ve also run our tests at 1440p, even though it’s almost a moot point – this card is designed for 1080p and will likely struggle with higher resolutions.

We’ve used 3DMark’s Fire Strike test and four Unigine Heaven benchmarks to test synthetic performance, and we’ve taken idle and load temperatures and power requirements to see which card is the coolest and most frugal.

Our test rig consists of an Asus X79-Deluxe motherboard, Intel Core i7-4960X processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB hard disk.

To get prices for each card we visited www.scan.co.uk and noted down the cheapest stock-speed card we could find. We will be referring to the various overclocked and tweaked models available for each GPU later on in the review, which will be more expensive.
