    Kevin, I mean this in the nicest possible way, but if we're trying to compare 3 different gfx card framerates, wouldn't it make a lot more sense for the article to have one table with the cards in three columns next to each other?

    I have a good memory for numbers, but tracking three sets through an article is quite tough

    It would also help if they used the same settings. Differing versions of AA are going to produce extremely varied results and doesn't give a direct comparison between cards.

    Eaxample:
    GTX 980 - Metro: Last Light High Quality 2560×1440 83.7
    GTX 970 - Metro: Last Light High Quality SSAA 2560×1440 29.9

    Why does the 970 have SSAA enabled?

    Edit: Maybe incorrectly using Eurogamers results is the issue here.

    2560x1440 (1440p)
    GTX 980 - Metro: Last Light, Very High, SSAA 32.6
    GTX 970 - Metro: Last Light, Very High, SSAA 29.9

    You guys also didn't publish the minimum fps numbers, these are the most important numbers.
    Min fps generally tells how and if a game will have stuttering/lag and in this case this is where the 970 will fall down in higher res gaming.

    would have thought the 980 would at least be 1.5 more than the 970

    You guys misunderstood me lol

    Why would a GTX980 be 50% faster than a GTX970, that makes no sense at all.
