In some cases, this may mean that the hardware and drivers have not yet been fully optimized. In other cases, it means that the hardware has been doctored to increase the likelihood of a positive review. We flag this hardware to make you aware that we did not buy the hardware. So, as they say, your actual mileage may vary. Actually, we test with both.
Care needs to be taken in interpreting the results of either, however.
Board A can render at 76 fps, but maxes out at 75 fps because of the monitor, while board B can render at 150 fps, but also maxes out at 75 fps. Both Boards A and B will appear to have the same performance. As long as at least one frame of a test scene renders at less than the display refresh rate, the true rendering performance will be seen, and the boards can be ranked fastest to slowest. With triple buffers, the board renders at maximum speed, and the most recently completed frame is displayed on the monitor at the monitor refresh rate. Back to Top MHz, MHz, MHz.
