[citation][nom]inmytaxi[/nom]Uh, how is this not just a listing of every card combination possible in order of price?[/citation]
It is a pity that the value of the article escapes you, but there are a *LOT* of cards on the market that are overpriced, obsolete cards that are still on the market that appear powerful to the uninformed, and cards at specific price points that don't deliver good performance compared to other cards at the same price point.
You also don't like that there are ties. Well, if two cards at the same price point have similar performance I'm not going to declare a winner just because you feel it'd be nicer that way. At many price points there aren't ties, for instance the Radeon HD 4850 is currently the best card at $100 right now. There are lots of other $100 cards, so your argument that this is a marketing driven list kind of falls apart.
I suspect you either have a good background of knowledge to fall on and the choices seem obvious to you, or perhaps you aren't aware just how many choices are actually out there available for purchase.
Either way, I've gotten a huge amount of positive feedback that suggests a good great deal of folks find this quite useful. If you're not one of them, then this article probably wasn't targeted towards you in the first place.
