FRONTPAGE Overclockers' Updated Video Card Testing Procedure

Great write up Jeremy!
I can only think of one question..... the benchmarks that give FPS as the test results, some give max, minimum, and average. Are we always using average FPS for our chart data?
Thanks!

Thanks! Average is what we'll use in recording the data for charting purposes. Maximums are pretty pointless, but minimums can bear mentioning (and/or graphing) if you're feeling ambitious or if they're really bad.
Defiantly a good uptick. Look forward to the reviews, I'm now torn between the 7850 or 670 if I save another 150$ and these reviews could help, a lot of the games I play are now in your test bed.
And minimum frames is defiantly worth mentioning over maximums, who cares if your max is 160 fps if whenever there is action you dip to the 20s? (not likely but still lol)

We're going for broad appeal and I'm not sure Bitcoin mining is used widely enough to really make it useful to a very large portion of our audience. Not a bad suggestion, I just don't think it would really appeal to enough people.

Lucid MVP should be off. Not all boards will have it, and turning it off will give us a more direct comparison between cards. Then, for those who have Lucid MVP, they can expect performance at least as good as our results, with the possibility of better performance if they enable MVP.
.nice refresh, seems like a well thought out, balanced and up to date way to review games. I especially like the triple monitor addition for the e-peen dreams in all of us. I assume mostly it will serve as a way to educate on how much ram video cards really need, and when they need it.
Galaxy GTX670
Nice Review. I have the Galaxy GTX670 I don't think i've even pushed it yet or even have it setup right. I see this is based on the Ivy Bridge Intel Mobo's.. Could anyone tell me if there is any AMD boards based on PCI-E 3.0?
Any info to get me started would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
I currently Have an Asus M5A97 mobo. DDR3 1600 Mem. AMD Phenom 2 960? X4

no pci-e 3.0 on any AMD boards ATM. have to wait for a future CPU from them that supports it.

Unfortunately not; the most advanced chipset to date for AMD uses the 990FX northbridge and it is still PCIe 2.0. That said, you won't be hurt by that very much, if at all.
Also, just to be clear; this was an overview of our new testing procedure, not a review of a GTX670...though we do have two of those: EVGA GTX670 SuperClocked & ASUS GTX670 DirectCU II TOP
