Graphics cards

[Hannodb]

It turns out buying a new gaming machine is a horrible maze of "Gotcha's" and false bargains. The graphics cards part is particularly hard to judge. Everytime I think that I now understand how to judge the performance of a particular GeForce card, someone points something out to me that I wasn't aware of.

So, I decided to post this list here for everybody's convenience. Hopefully, this is a reliable benchmark if you want to know whether you're buying something very awesome, or utter crap:

I use this list from Tom's hardware guide. It gives a general idea of how capable/pricey that particular GPU would be:

Maybe this thread should be under the sticky section, or some kind of FAQ? Not everybody is clued up when it comes to hardware, and these comparative sites are very helpful.
