I thought this would come in use for alot of people. I for one didn't know which ati cards were the best and worst until I read this. Hope you find it helpful!

Remember, this doesn't show performace, it's just a list from oldest to newest with pricing!

Nice! You have done quite a research.

um, the list is from worst to best. just to make things clear for people that arent up on video cards.

It only really shows what is the most expensive. I wouldn't always say that the most expensive is always the best. It all depends what you want out of your graphics card really.

i didnt check the link. yes, those are just a price list, not a performance list.

See first post (edited). Sorry I should have been more specific.

Thats better m8. Makes more sense now. cheers

its missing a one nvida card 2 best card evga 7900 superclocked and the 7800 super clocked
