Does anyone take that garbage seriously?

As the resolution is raised, only the GeForce GTX 460, Radeon HD 6850, and higher-priced options remain viable.

A quote from the website talking about hardcoe settings at 1680x1050. What a load of ****.

Sounds about right. My heavily OC'd hd5870 hits around 60-70fps at hardcoe depending on whats going on. So i can see cards lower than a gtx460 (hd5770) really starting to lag with everything turned up.

How is it a load of ****? Those are the only cards that achieved a 30 FPS minimum. That's a valid anolysis, unless you have other information to add.

Maybe you're OK with choppy framerate drops, but when I'm playing I prefer it to be smooth, thanks... minimum frame rates are more important than averages.
