Test Setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.9Ghz 1.35v
Cooler: Deep Cool Gammaxx 400 120mm
Motherboard: MSI X370 SLI Plus
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) TEAM Night Hawk DDR4 @ 3200Mhz 16-18-18-38-2T
PSU: EVGA 600B
Case: Thermaltake Core P3
GPUs: 4GB ASUS GTX 970 Strix @ 1443Mhz Core 4.8Tflops/6Ghz Memory 192GB/s
6GB EVGA GTX 1060 6GB Superclocked @ 1873Mhz Core 4.8Tflops/8Ghz Memory 192GB/s

Basic Testing Methodology:
1.) All tests are run with 16x AF where available
2.) All tests are run with motion blur Disabled where available
3.) All tests are run using less than 3584MB VRAM to eliminate VRAM limitation issues.
4.) All tests are run in 100% GPU dependent conditions. At no time does GPU utilization drop below 100%.
5.) Standard background tasks running during all benchmarks. This includes Google Chrome, FRAPS/Presentmon, MSI Afterburner (with Riva Tuner Statistics Server,) Steam, Origin, and GOG Galaxy.
