Tom's hardware is a well known respected pc enthusiast site. Here are links to their hierarchy Guide 2014 video card, which gives a general ranking of the most popular cards & performance-at-a-glance up and down. It's a good way to generalize where your current card is compared to the other models, the two old & new; vs State renamed Hall-of-shame if you want... This is a guide of qwik for what model (s) to be on the lookout for when it's time to upgrade. Once again, a good general hierarchy, not a list of alpha omega.

Thanks for posting Cass Ole. The different levels, groups and compare machine is useful.

Notice that it goes all the way back to nVidia TNT and ATI Rage 128. I had both machines at the time... some of the AMP first slot cards, IIRC. So proud of them because they were top-of-the-line at the time.
