One thing you'll notice on the benchmarks is that the video card is not the limiting factor on a lot of the benchmarks. The CPU or other system components are limiting performance at the resolution and settings that we use in our video card reviews. With the imminent release of Doom 3 and hopefully Half Life 2, we will soon change our testing to include them as benchmarks.
