We began our testing for this year's updated charts with the newest and fastest graphics cards available from ATI and Nvidia. Right now, you can compare 32 retail products and graphics chip classes to one another; detailed performance results are available from 30 different gaming benchmark environments.
From here on out, the graphics charts will be updated on a monthly basis as we introduce additional cards (reference and retail) at every price point. All our benchmarks here are new, whether you're looking at the Mainstream or High-End categories.
To provide the best possible performance picture, all of the graphics products are measured first at their standard clock rates. This year we aren't restricting these charts to reference models: you'll find commercially-available products, special editions, and overclocked versions from all the well-known vendors for comparison, too.
This is how Tom’s Hardware tracks the graphics card market closely and carefully, where vendors are always changing clock rates, cooling solutions, and various other design details so that they can improve upon the performance available from basic reference cards.
