Thanks Ulf. Of course, similar conditions are important if you want to do comparisons, but per my previous messages, which conditions you choose to test with can have dramatic changes in the results;
# iterations, noisiness, whether you are measuring an update or a 1st run, what the baseline CPU usage is in both cases, what sort of PSF you use, etc.).
If your settings are mostly system-heavy (CPU. RAM, Bus), then you will be mostly measuring your system's speed and not the GPU. If your settings are mostly GPU-heavy then you will be mostly measuring GPU speed.
