GPU shootouts

[Slamman]

I looked through some older magazines I had, and nearly forgotten, last year or fall 2008 I believe, CPU did a shootout of many, many graphics cards. Well known licensing brands and various profiles, from ultimate copper cooled HSF nVidia GX280 to some lowly one no one cares for or shows any love. Among them, the BFG version of the nVidia 9400GT I bought, it was interesting their mentioning of gaming prowess with that, or lack thereof, more a card suited for HD home theater boxes, however.

 

Since there were so many of these cards, I opted to buy the magazine, and looking at it again, I decided to cover them all here so people can have a used card buying guide at their fingertips, It will take some time so I'm starting the thread now, if you want to add your own card price and specs, and some real world experience, go right ahead.

 

This will serve to cover older gen cards, however, but not TOO old, obviously, most are PCI-Express 2.0s

I wanna avoid that in the future!!
