We're using a Radeon HD 6950 graphics card for these tests. We doubt you'd see a difference in performance when dialling up the image-quality settings, and any single-GPU configuration is unlikely to benefit from the increased bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 present on LGA2011 chips: you'd also need a compliant PCIe 3.0 card for this (Radeon HD 7970, at the time of writing).
