Very nice information for those looking to compare price/performance

Sweet find. I could have used this a couple weeks ago when I knew nothing about current cards.

Nice to find a new one out there. Quick question, how does an 8800 Ultra compare to a 5750? Anyone shed some light on how/why?

Cheers.

I think main difference between the 8800 and 5750 is 5750 supports directx 11 and is also a smaller gpu, so it runs cooler requiring less volts.

Here is a quick benchmark. It doesn't show an 8800 but from that first link I assume the 8800 is below most of these cards listed. At least the 250 I believe.

at some point we need to sticky this chart, everyone refers to it lol. perhaps a mod can look into doing that?

i actually like toms, trust their reviews more than any other review sites. Their conclusions and opinions rarely meet my own however

I'm a pretty big fan of hardware canucks - but I can always find conclusions i don't agree with on about any website. Tom's does make some nice historical rollups in the video card section for good baseline performance comparisons. I do think this chart should be stickied - good source for a lot of the general questions that get asked almost continually.
