    Probably removed due to size. Ask a mod about starting a new one if you'd like?

    we are in the gaming section, where the thread has always been :p

    It was closed by a mod/admin for being large (true) and hard to find info (which I don't agree on).

    The main point of the thread, as I see, was for users to poke in, ask a question about x game and y GPU, then get a response. That way, we won't have multiple threads with similar themes all across NBR.

    Someone should just make a flowchart indicating the relative performance power of various popular GPUs, and CPUs as well in less detail.

    relative to certain CPU/GPU combinations which are avalible in current notebooks, plus a few common older platforms; at certain "common" resolutions for each CPU/GPU combo; taking into account every vendors little downclocking schemes; and thermal limitations that will take down turbo clocks.

    Only notebookcheck has even dared to try (for real), and there are a LOT of issues with the way they have their current chart (ignoring listing nonexistant theoretical setups to always benefit nVidia, using 3dmark scores to compare GPU with vastly different CPU/RAM configureations, different driver revisions, etc).

    It only needs to be tiered. No need for statistics like 3dMark06 scores.

    With a small legend indicating what range of graphics each tier can handle.
