GTX 960 vs 970 vs 980

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.
