Just wondering what sites you guys find the most reliable for gpu's.
Been looking around for a new vid card for a bit, but different sites seem to post far different results.

Yeah... its one of the sites I've been checking out as well as www.techpowerup.com

But their results seem to contradict each other some times... maybe its tomshardware using fraps with it and techpowerup not that skews the results...

You got to remember that each benchmarking website uses a different baseline hardware setup to other benchmarking websites - you can not just quickly compare results from one website with results from another website and expect them to make sense.

What you can do, though, is on each individual benchmarking site you can compare different sets of GPUs - the contribution to the benchmark score from the baseline hardware setup used by that website, where the same baseline is used across the scores being compared, is (roughly) the same for all compared scores.

By comparing scores from different websites you're comparing apples to oranges - but by comparing score on only one site, you're comparing varieties of apple or orange.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Furmark is utterly terrible for benchmarks. It said my X1950XT performed better than my friends 8800GTS....
