2560 X 1600




The devil is in the details, isn’t it? Granted, the average framerates posted by the GTX 295 look hale and healthy but the minimum frames per second…that ain’t pretty folks. Judging from actual gameplay time and watching the timedemo, it seems like there are very small increments (between 2-3 seconds) where the framerate suddenly dips for no apparent reason and then shoots back up again. This is why such low minimum FPS don’t adversely impact the average score. To us this feels more like a driver issue but only time will tell.
