[FONT=verdana,geneva][h=3]VGA Charts for Summer 2012[/h] 
Guru3D.com is brings you the "Guru3D VGA Charts". The VGA charts is a much requested feature by you, the readers. The VGA charts is simply put a selection of games in which we will show you performance numbers (measured by average framerate). The distinct difference in review results and these charts is two-fold, in our reviews we can only show you a handful comparative graphics card results due to limitations. In the VGA chart you can see all the reference cards we have tested recently in an orderly and easy to comprehend manner.
We look purely at reference (baseline) performance, as it is a tremendous task to keep these charts updated. Please bare in mind that due to driver revisions and passing time it is very possible that a card measured 4 months ago could be say 5% faster now due to driver optimizations. At all times keep that in mind. We also include some multi-GPU results here and there as you will notice, sometimes that 2nd GPU didn't kick in, while a new driver revision might have already fixed it. Charts as shown today as such are Pandora's box.
So our charts might not be perfect but the the VGA charts will show you the baseline performance of products we have tested in recent times brining you a comprehensive and fairly reliable indication of graphics performance, we'll add future results over time. The VGA charts are for your reference only. There will be no comments on product performance, it's just a quick way to find results in a selection of modern games.
Also please bare in mind that all cards tested today are based on reference cards, the product available in the stores can differ in terms of factory-overclocks and can get you 10% more performance quite quickly.
So then, the Guru3D VGA Charts for Summer 2012 are here. It's then end of May and most DX11.1 graphics cards from both AMD and NVIDIA have been released. Yes it's about time for another massive update to the charts. Some charts have up-to sixty graphics cards slash combinations embedded. All these cards have been tested on the very same PC with the very same OS. Here in the lab we have a twin, e.g. we have two PCs build exactly the same, one for AMD (ATI) the other for NVIDIA graphics cards. The components, BIOS settings and OS are 100% the same on each system. that includes Windows updates. The only thing different would bee the graphics drivers.
For this 2012 Summer update we'll make use of the following titles:
Direct X9
Detail:
I personally would go for Nvidia 670 but the only problem I see is the lack of 3 monitor support. AMD on the other hand works well. I can use Radeon 6790 with Nvidia 670.
