Test System

Before we take a look at the results, let’s take a quick look at the system which was used for test the Radeon HD 6950 and GeForce GTX 950. The hardware remains largely unchanged from four years ago when it was assembled. It is built around a Sandy Bridge Intel Core i5-2400 processor, ASUS P8Z68-V LE motherboard, and 8GB G.Skill Sniper 1333MHz CAS 9 dual channel memory. An XFX 850 watt Black Edition power supply provides more than enough power for the system and the video cards. Testing was done on Windows 10 64-bit.

Graphic drivers used for testing:

AMD CATALYST 15.7.1
NVIDIA GeForce 355.65
