Test Setup

To test the XFX GeForce 7950 GT 570M Extreme, we had a system built around a MSI K8N Diamond Plus motherboard and installed with an AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 (2.6GHz) processor. This was supplemented with 2 x 512MB Kingston low latency DDR400 memory running in dual channel mode. A Seagate 7200.7 SATA hard drive with Windows XP Professional installed (Service Pack 2 and DirectX 9.0c) completed the system.

The graphics cards and the respective drivers used in the comparison are as follows:

  • XFX GeForce 7950 GT 570M Extreme (ForceWare 91.47)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT 512MB (ForceWare 91.47)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS 256MB (ForceWare 91.47)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT 256MB (ForceWare 91.47)
  • Palit GeForce 7900 GT Sonic 512MB (ForceWare 84.21)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB (ForceWare 84.21)
  • ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB (Catalyst 6.8)


Since we had on hand a pair of XFX GeForce 7950 GT 570M Extreme graphics cards, we decided to throw in some SLI tests to spice things up. Here are the additional cards for the SLI sections and the drivers used:

  • XFX GeForce 7950 GT 570M Extreme - SLI (ForceWare 91.47)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX - SLI (ForceWare 91.31)
