960 GTX EVGA

A quick overview of frame rates. Tested on a system with 4GB Ram, Athlon II 240 clocked at 3.5GHZ.

Considering the CPU is fairly weak, the framerates are impressive at full 1080p.

GTA IV - badly coded game, not optimised at all. All settings on high. View distance set to 40. Traffic set to 35. While on foot, average of 35fps. While driving, average of 25fps.

But can it run Crysis? Yes! Yes it can. Everything set to very high, AA at x4. Average of 43 fps.

Unfortunately I became absorbed in games, so haven't tested other games yet.

I can confidently recommend this card as a 1080p card that will not disappoint. Well worth the money.

Tweaks and a Clue?

A few tweaks have been applied to the website.

Most noticeable, is the addition of icons beside titles, on the main VGMad homepage.

These will provide an at a glance indication on the content type, to save reading every title if you are only focused on browsing one specific content type.

Page load times haven't been impacted with this addition, due to some nifty image optimisations.

Below is the key to the icons. As you will notice, an icon in there gives you a clue, as to what section is on its way.

More will be revealed as that section goes live.
