    Several times I have seen those nice graphics, where bars shows the performance of different video cards for some games (in FPS).
    I was wondering if there is a web page that has compiled them all, and where I can search for several games. Toms Hardware has a chart for 5 games, but I'm sure there are more around. Does anyone know?
    Thanks.

    It'd be nearly impossible to compile them all in any sort of informative fashion, since you'd also have to know the other system specs, the drivers, relevant patches, and most importantly what settings and resolution it was tested at.

    I'm afraid for now you'll probably have to just search through individual game performance reviews.

    Agreed.

    To the OP, what do you need that for? Are you buying a graphics card or interested in game performance? If for the latter, I would recommend going to TweakGuides.com and looking up the relevant game. It does a fairly good job of covering graphics tweaking for games to maximize FPS.

    I saw Tom's hardware, but I though someone would have done the same with just more games (not EVERY game). I mean, I know it is a lot of info, but many web pages have much more.

    The thing is, Tom's Hardware ran all those tests, on all those different systems, with those specific controlled settings. And Tom's Hardware is one of the biggest hardware review sites around. Who else is going to have the resources and time to do even more testing on more different games?

    Yeah but we have seen many other web pages to do the same for other games, so I was thinking that some another might have compiled all of them.

    The problem is that compilations like that are impossible to do accurately. In order for such a list to be meaningful, you would have to have tested all those games yourself, under the same conditions.
