Test System Specs
Although we collected the frame time data we didn't include it because it's becoming less important for single-GPU reviews. Our results showed the GeForce GTX 960 being in line with the Radeon R9 285, which is about what we would expect, so there isn't much to see here.
Frame time data will still be included in our CrossFireX and SLI reviews.
For this review we have tested at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600. We are yet to include 4K results or higher because there isn't a single-GPU solution available yet that can provide playable performance at this resolution.
All graphics cards have been tested with core and memory clock speeds set to the AMD and Nvidia specifications.
