Introduction
Here it is - the third part of the videocards benchmark project. The goal is to explore performance of the first and second generation of the DX11 GPUs. The multi-GPU technology in this era was greatly improved with frame packing - so of course there are several Crossfire and SLI setups.
The test system was upgraded to the X99 platform. Xeon E5 1650 v3 is equivalent of Core i7-5930k, including the unlocked multiplier. Performance should be slightly better than Sandy Bridge-E, despite the lower clock. Also Haswell-E doesn't suffer from any PCI-E 3.0 compatibility issues.
