The Ultimate GPU Benchmark (2004 - 2007)

Published: 14th June 2020 (last update 14th June 2020 )

It is time to revisit the video card benchmarks. This is the first part of completely new project focused on as thorough GPU benchmarking as possible. Not only average fps, but also frametimes analysis and other attributes measured by MSI Afterburner. All values are shown using interactive charts.

Bonus Round - Utilization of Theoretical Performance

These charts are calculated as the average performance / theoretical fillrate or memory bandwidth. These numbers are relative and dimensionless, can be compared only within the one chart.

The higher the value is, the more constrained the graphic card is by the specified parameter. Or in another words the more effective in using this resource. Obviously, the final performance is affected by many aspects simultaneously, so pointing just one is not exactly accurate. Take this with grain of salt.
