Graphics card Rankings

[gurusan]

Well i thought these were all stock vs stock.

If BIOS flashing and overclocking is allowed then the list is TOTALLY wrong! lol

Well i am not sure if this list is exactly stock i have only been able to tell everyone it's an "average" list.

This list as has been said many many times before is NOWHERE NEAR perfect or concrete. It is used as a general information for people to see around where their card stands or for newbies to see what other kinds of cards they could possibly get if they find one at a good price.

I highly suggest as I always have to find your card on the list and find benchmarks and tests to see if the card is faster on a certain game. For example i once saw a benchmark that said the HD3850 512 beat an 8800GTS 512 on Supreme commander which is probably an ATI game.

yeah my 8800GTS didnt do so well on supreme commander

Its also the reason why Crysis likes nVidia cards

have you seen that video that talks about your PC's ability for Crysis, I mean it calls any ATi card Integrated Graphics, I remember somebody running it on an HD3870X2 and the guy cracked up

Let's get this list updated by a mod please. I will paste my earlier post

My sources have recently said after new drivers and new game tests this is currently a very up to date list.

8800GT 512MB
HD3870 512MB
9600GT
HD2900XT 1GB
HD2900Pro 1GB
HD2900XT 512MB
HD2900Pro 512MB
8800GTS 640MB
HD3850 512MB
8800GT 256MB
8800GTS 320MB
7950GX2
8800GS
HD 3850 256MB

Our list is close but this seems to be more accurate. The 8800GT 512 is in the right place as is the X1950XTX under the HD 3850 256

In no way Did I create this list. I found it on my favorite Overclocking site Overclock.net.

This was the final product of 38 pages of input from the entire community. The cards Go from of coarse Best to worst as it goes down the list. Keep in mind that is NOT my list or my exact beliefs but rather on average which card is better. Please don't complain to me if you think your X1950GT beats my 7900GS or whatever. I myself don't even fully agree with this list as my 7900GS overclocked beats an X1950PRO overclocked but hey these are on average.

I bolded some additions I recommend (9600gso 384mb and 768mb)

 

[Hussein19891]

Does the Ultra really outperform the 9800GTX? Not something I was expecting to be honest.

 

[NosBoost300]

^^^ 9800gtx performance is just about that of the 8800gtx... and the 8800 ultra is clocked just as high (the oc'd ones at least) as the 9800gtx and has a higher memory bandwidth

 

[VampD]

Theres some big differences in the rankings chart compared to Toms hardware chart btw
