Current Reviews 2010

On this page we aim to bring you the latest and best unbiased opinions on High-End hardware peripherals.  Occasionally we will review new software releases of benchmarking software used in our configurations and the newly supplied components fresh from the companies.   These software packages utilised in our tests may be found over on the Benchmarks Used page

The plethora of benchmarks available in this arena; one could spend all day in producing results, paralysis by analysis!  What has been shown here is enough for a decision to be made for evaluation cards and equipment to be put in place for the next phase forward of the end user. If you cannot fully make out the charts and visuals which we have shown below, please e-mail – reviews at 3d professor dot org and we shall send over in priority of receipt the picture you are looking for.

All these reviews take a huge amount of time here to complete as each test is ran as many as 6 times to establish the validity of the results shown from first run under the SPEC fair play rules.   Like all new equipment we encounter bugs along the way long before you the public ever see them.   When you see the final published review sometimes we have encountered many days and weeks of painstaking reruns, bios updates to name but a few of the issues we have to overcome.   Therefore the times behind each review may seem like a considerable period between them, but there is always valid reasoning.   In some instances there are very good reasons for delays in reviews as we do work behind the scenes that is never published.

Finally, to complete all of the tests on the system(s) shown have taken some considerable time to complete. Utilising at all times were possible the latest SPEC® benchmarks; we maintain the fair play rules for each SPEC® benchmark result and to reiterate the results shown in the review have been run in accordance with the fair play rules and regulations.
