Re: And FPS per dollar isn't the only important stat - Edit 1

Sometimes you need to achieve an certain framerate or the game is unplayable at that settings you want to play. As Macharius found out with the 5670, the FPS per dollar is only useful for comparing similar cards, thus if I were to divide the 5 cards up into caterogires it would be this
HD5670
HD5750 vs GTS450 vs HD5770
GTX460 (which is in another level than the previous cards).
The HD5770 runs WoW-Cataclysm on Ultra at 50+ fps even in Northrend (no promises on Dalaran). I'm not sure just how high, since I sent the fps cap at 50 to prevent overheating the card.
Also, Fallout 3 would crash every time with the HD5670 on Ultra - but the HD5770 runs it on Ultra just fine (though I'll probably downgrade the settings a step to get better fps). I haven't tried SC2 on Ultra with the HD5770 yet, but I'm going to assume it plays very well since the HD5670 ran it just fine (though again, the fps were a little lower than what would be ideal to me).
