A less well informed person, or someone who has been out of the PC scene for a while won't have a clue what they are looking at, apart from cost. Can it play games at FHD? If so, at max settings?

I like Tom's Hardware's Best Graphics Card for the Money article that they update each month for this very reason.

Best Graphics Cards For The Money

They explain choices, give some information about the cards, state which resolution you can comfortably use the card for, etc.

I just think they could have put perhaps a little bit more effort into the article.
And here I agree. Though it stands to reason the info is in the article, unfortunately spoon feeding info is needed when talking about certain topics, like PC hardware comparisons and lists.

Yoh oom you write a lot lol
I'll reply in full tomorrow morning. The main reason I got annoyed with this article is the fact that they use passmark (I can't stand this shit) and the fact that the list is all over the place, with old generation cards that are barely available or aren't available at all. I also have to ask myself why isn't Rebeltech listed? Does the author have an issue with them? They are almost always cheaper and have fantastic service.

So it looks like the article was put together hastily.
Urgh I'm in study mode, so writing and research and stuff like this seems to be bubbling out of me of late, lol.

But you make a fair point. The list does include cards that does seem rather old for the company it keeps, and the question about Rebel Tech is a perfectly valid one. I guess the incredible rate at which MyGaming has been pumping out articles as of late (which, but the way I am not complaining about, in fact I think it's fantastic), may have had an impact on some additional research time as to the different retailers. But again, I guess the main aim of the article was to use the Passmark ratings as reference, and get a single local price point as reference as well. Perhaps my Assimilation personality is over-analysis this way too much though, which is a distinct possibility.

May I ask what's wrong with Passmark? And in your reply, can you give us a guide as to which other way GPU's can be objectively compared performance wise. Perhaps we can do our own little Performance/Value calculations focusing more on Rand/Performance ratio's....
