Graphics card ranking 2.0

Goat · #1 02-18-2008

This list was originally created by J3r3my, but since he has not been active for a while, I have decided to continue updating this list. The original list can be found here. I'm gonna work on some corrections and bring this list up to date ASAP.

Listed are all the discrete desktop graphics cards, ranked according to relative performance with specs if they are available.

Color code
ATI
Nvidia
3DFX
S3 (VIA)
Matrox
Intel

Is this an out of the box performance comparison or an overclocked comparison? Thinking out of the box, standard clocks. This is some task as some cards run some programs better than others. The war begins.........again.

Basically, going from J3r3my's methodology, it is an indicator of relative performance, i.e., which card wins the most game benchmarks. And yes, the clocks would be manufacturer reference clock speeds.

He lists the manufacturer reference spec clocks. The one you have is probably factory overclocked by the manufacturer of your graphics card, and they have added more RAM themselves. (Meaning this list only lists cards the way nVIDIA / ATI / other say they should be, but manufacturers change slight things to make their cards better.)

Yeah, seems like the 8600GT, 8500GT and 8400GS were all missing their shader clocks. They're all there now. I just copied over the old list, so I'm sure there are probably quite a few things needing to be fixed.

Goat · #10 02-23-2008

9600GT is up. Will be adding new cards as they come out.

Also added some missing cards and made a number of corrections. Let me know if you see anything missing or incorrect.
