The test configuration:

As we said in the introduction, we are (again) busy updating all our graphics using the latest drivers from NVIDIA, AMD and of course Intel. We also took the opportunity to slightly modify our test configuration. So here we go again for a new series of tests and therefore of graphics on this slightly modified configuration:

  • Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z690 APEX
  • Processor: Intel Alder Lake i9-12900K
  • Memory : 32 GB Corsair Vengeance 5600 CL38 DDR5
  • Graphics Card: Intel ARC A770, ARC A750, KFA2 RTX 3060 EX, NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti FE, NVIDIA RTX 3070 FE, Sapphire RX 6000 Pulse, Asus RX 6600XT Strix and Powercolor RX 6700 XT RD.
  • Cooling system: ROG Ryujin II 360
  • SSD : Western Digital Black SN750 2 TB + EKWB radiator
  • Power supply : Corsair AX1600i
  • Operating system: Windows 11 64 bits

The drivers used are NVIDIA 517.48, AMD 22.9.2 and Intel 101.3435. Note that the Intel drivers weigh a little more than 1.3 GB.

Our test protocol:

All cards are tested at stock frequencies and without any optimization. For the various benchmarks, whether synthetic or gaming, we will opt for 1080p, 1440p and 2160p resolutions depending on the card’s performance. Here, with this mid-range model, we will only use 1080p and 1440p definitions. As you can see, we have switched to Windows 11 and we have enabled the “ReSize BAR” in the BIOS, which is visible in GPU-Z. Now that you know everything about our test configuration, it’s time to start!
