FPS figures are estimates from published review benchmarks; cards a review did not cover are scaled by relative performance. PlanMyPC does not run its own benchmarks. Each figure is for the listed resolution, and games where the two cards are within 3% of each other are marked as a tie. Actual performance varies with CPU, settings, and driver version.
