Anandtech benchmarks-quick question

I was comparing benchmarks between the Hd 6850 and HD 5770 but was wondering what system they are using for that particular benchmark.

How would I find out?

Bench gives you access to much of our internal benchmark data so that you can compare the products you're interested in without searching for an older review. Within a product category (e.g. CPUs) we tried to keep the testbeds as consistent as possible (e.g. same drives, memory sizes, etc...) so you can make reliable comparisons between products.

We currently allow CPU, SSD, Smartphone and GPU comparisons using Bench however we will be adding more categories in the future. You will notice that GPU Bench is split into two categories: GPU Bench 2011 and GPU Bench 2010. GPU Bench 2010 is a snapshot of the original GPU Bench, while the 2011 version includes newer GPUs, drivers and benchmarks. If you have any requests please email us directly. Any technical problems, please email our webmaster.

The exact cpu would be handy though.

I'm guessing this is used as more of a comparison then.

Drop them an email and ask. I'd assume that they try to keep the main rig as consistent as possible and only change out the cards though.

I reckon it would be the same system that is used in the published GPU reviews.

Click on the main sections either 2011/2010 for GPU benches, then next to each card theres a speech bubble. Hover over for the system specs.

Seems they used a i7 920 @3.33Ghz for all benches.

TBH just as long as the system they use is unlikely to bottleneck/choke the gpu's it doesn't really matter IMHO.
