X-bit Labs has compared the performance of entry-level cards from below $99 to high-end graphics cards of up to $649 in their latest graphics card roundup. They used a bunch of new demanding games such as AOE3, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2, F.E.A.R., Quake 4 and others.

We have already performed testing of modern platforms in our articles titled “Contemporary CPUs and New Games: No Way to Delusions!” and “Games against CPUs.
