Graphics card hierarchy

Chart From TomsHardware

From experience would this chart be about right?, The GTX260 about the same performance as a 4870?. although some games it's the other way around or depending on the res you game at.

First of all, I really don't recommend you ask that question, given how some threads have turned out lately.

Secondly, that chart is bonkers in lots of ways. The 9800GX2 is more like GTX280 level, the 8800 cards are nowhere near the 3870X2, 4850, or 9800GTX+, and the 7950GX2 was quite a way ahead of the X1950XTX.

guide in sig explains card/res needs better

i guess the guide you posted makes sense

but it is normally dependant on application

and other hardware used

I think the guide you have a bit better, shows prices and screen res on there. ty

Yeah I'd agree on those points...

8800GT SLI is about same performance as a stock 280GTX so 9800GX2 is going to be slightly faster.

7950GX2 was approx same performance as the 320Mb 8800GTS except in shader heavy games - a good 40-50% faster than a 1950XTX.
