Windows XP graphics card benchmarks – 950/960/970/980/980Ti/HD7970

Finally! After weeks of benchmarking 6 graphics cards, I have collected together the data to see what might be the best GPU for gaming on a Windows XP machine. There are some surprizes, and hopefully it’ll be useful info for anyone wanting to play their aging CD/DVD game collection on an actual purpose built PC. I hope you enjoy it – this took a long time to put together! The next video will be my ‘Ultimate Windows XP gaming PC’ video..

Second upload of this video, as I noticed on playback that i’d put the wrong results up for 3DMark 2001 SE! Fixed in this one though. Phew.

Details on how to install the modified drivers, or how to do them yourself if so inclined, are in my follow-up video here:
