Notes
All 13 cards have been tested from scratch using the latest drivers. We did this because the base test system has changed from an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X to a Ryzen 9 5950X now run with an improved Corsair Hydro Series H115i cooler. Resizable Bar is activated in the motherboard firmware and on all cards that support it by manually updating their respective BIOSes. Only the GeForce RTX 20-series remain without.
We have also updated the benchmark suite to take in more raytracing - all cards other than the Radeon RX 5700 XT have built-in hardware to handle the additional load.
