Graphics Cards Value for Money

Being a geek, I did the same thing with the cards from OcUK, using the cheapest model for each card and the benchmark results @ 1920 x 1200 for the games TechReport benchmark with (COD4, HL EP2, ET:QW and Crysis Warhead):

Higher bar = better value for money.

Being an 'old school' overclocker (read as "Cheapskate" , see sig) I'm tempted with a 4830 + voltmod...

There needs to be some even older/slower cards on that chart, because that graph seems to show that the older/slower/cheaper a card is the more value for money you're getting...

Does the graph figure in headaches when gaming at 15fps?

Law of diminishing returns still holds true, as with everything.
