Tom's Hardware's charts could stand to be a little better constructed sometimes. Why the hell they would include a 9600gt with 1 gigabyte of memory rather than the 512 gb mem I'll never understand, seeing as the latter is far more relevant to the folks who actually consult the charts. It's certain that 1000s of visitors have been turned away to hunt for stats on a 512mb 9600gt somewhere else, TH thereby cheating their advertisers out of good ad time.

TH has also never featured Battlefield 2 benchmarks on their site. It took forever for them to finally get 2142 in their charts( which incidentally is not there any more). Granted those games are dated now but I am talking about during BF2's heyday.

Because no one is retarded enough to spend money on a card, that is practically obsolete. There are many better alternatives in the same price range from both Graphics vendors that blow that card out of the water for the money spent. All of the charts they have describe gaming stats, for gaming cards... Then for lower end models that are meant for lower end computers. Not cards that suck and are pointless in life!

Jk, I dunno man, no site is perfect in every aspect ;)

They probably perform very close to exactly alike, I'd bet. 1Gb of VRAM on such a card is a total waste, and probably won't increase performance at all (read: it's pure marketing).

You dont need BF2 benchmarks when you have Crysis benchmarks. Both being FPS, and Crysis being 20 times more demanding, do the math there. 10fps in Crysis will mean 60+ in BF2 on max at a high res, easily.

You obviously didn't read my post carefully. One, I specifically referred to BF2's earlier relevance, and two you fail to realize that often what folks want to know is how cards stack against each other per game, not just how a single card performs on different games. The primary reason I consult charts is to compare one card's price/performance against another card per game so I will know which is the better buy.

The reason why the BF series isn't tested is because my old 8600GT (256MB) could get 55 FPS. Theres no point in comparing a game when every card on the market breaks the 100FPS barrier.

Both THG and Guru3d have comparisions for most of the cards currently out and how they match up per game. That, and you have a ton of experts here who can help out if you ask nicely.
