3D Graphics Shootout

ExtremeTech has a really excellent 3D graphics processor shootout article wherein they compare not just performance, but [gasp] the price-to-performance ratio. What a concept!

ExtremeTech's verdict is that the best bang-for-the-buck right now is the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, which came in at $4.80 per FPS. Boards with this processor can be found for around $185 (mid-range) and it offered very respectable performance in every test. The GeForce FX 5700 Ultra came in a close second.
