Test Configurations

For a comparison of benchmark results, we have rounded up whatever system we believed to be not only competitive but also what could be owned as one or the other system from which an upgrade is being considered. Most of the systems are state of the art regardless but there is always the question of whether it might be worth to still go for an upgrade. Benchmarks used comprise standard gaming scenarios as well as multimedia content creation and 3D rendering along with optical character recognition (OCR) software that increasingly gains importance for scanning in printed documents and converting them into searchable data-base entries.
