So if a graphics card barely manages less than 30 FPS, then the game is not very playable, we want to avoid that at all cost.After forcing the same image quality settings this timedemo is then used for all graphics cards so that the actual measuring is as objective as can be. That test is often a time demo, a recorded part of the game which is a 1:1 representation of the actual game and its gameplay experience. We measure this in FPS, the number of frames a graphics card can render per second, the higher it is, the more fluently your game will display itself.Ī game's frames per second (FPS) is a measured average of a series of tests.

There's a dilemma though, IQ often interferes with the performance of a graphics card. What are we looking for in gaming performance wise? First off, obviously Guru3D tends to think that all games should be played at the best image quality (IQ) possible. Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition (engineering sample) Now we begin the benchmark portion of this article, but first let me show you our test system plus the software we used.
