Featuring 101 different combinations of single, dual, three-way, and four-way graphics card configurations, our VGA Charts for 2008 include the largest collection of benchmarks we’ve ever published — almost 7,000 scores, in fact. We have five generations of cards covered here, from AMD’s X800-, X1000-, HD 2000-, HD 3000-, and HD 4000-series to Nvidia’s GeForce 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, and GTX 200-series boards. Our tested resolutions cover 1280x1024, 1680x1050, and 1920x1200—with and without AA/AF. So, whether you’re looking for the best value in graphics for your favorite game or investigating the benefit of multi-card rendering through CrossFire and SLI, this year’s VGA charts are the most comprehensive yet.

For users who want the highest graphics performance a system can provide they need to add more cards in dual and quad configurations. In these charts we test the best configurations of AMD's CrossFire and Nvidia's SLI. We wanted to take all the guesswork out of who is best in what game. This is the ultimate graphics resource tool for hardcore gamers and power users. Each configuration is run them through a battery of eight intensive tests including 7 real world gaming applications and one synthetic benchmark. * Battlefield 2142 * Dark Messiah of Might and Magic * Doom 3 * Microsoft Flight Simulator X * Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion * Prey * Warhammer: Mark of Chaos * 3DMark06 Our charts are interactive and regularly updated to enable you to make informed buying decisions. By clicking on a particular graphics card's performance bar you will see the test configuration. These charts are the answer to what a user needs: the best multi-video card configuration available for a particular price and application!

Tom's Interactive CPU Charts offer the most comprehensive x86 processor comparison on the Internet. The 2008 edition includes as many as 91 AMD and Intel desktop processors, which we tested across 35 individual benchmarks under Windows Vista. The benchmarks include industry standard software as well as popular workloads across multiple application categories, allowing you to find the CPU that meets your requirements (see benchmark details below the charts). The Charts are also a valuable tool if you want to check how your computer stacks up against current hardware. The 2008 charts include three different processor generations, starting with AMD's Socket 939 Athlons and Semprons, and including all Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors that were released for Socket 775.
