Where's that chart from?

EDIT: MrTeal as in MrTeal from GTA:Vice City?

After looking at reviews more closely, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in Techpowerup for using CPU limited results like the Starcraft II numbers for calculating their overall percentages. That game is clearly CPU bottlenecked, barely any difference from the 480 all the way up to the 590/6990. Including results like that really skewed their overall performance graphs.
Hope they clean that up before NVIDIA flagship launch.
Yeah TechpowerUp does have slightly skewed results for alot of reviews because of stuff like that.
I also think its stupid they test things in 1280x768 resolution and put that into the "all resolutions avg"...
I mean really? who buys a 580 or 7970 and games at 1280x resolution?

Wow, I just looked at the SCII numbers, that's pretty stupid to be using that! Basically all the cards are the same in that test. What that means, though, is that if we assume that there's a test where the cards are all equal, the overall results should be more extreme.
It might surprise you to know that many people do not know that fact. Show them in addition to telling them.More information is, but sometimes irrelevant to the product review. Including 1024x768 resolution in the review of a $500 card is useless, because it's a given that it's going to be way too powerful for the resolution anyway.
Also, other factors else than the card's actual performance can influence the results. See the following:

There's no much that makes sense in this picture. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but it's clear that the actual relative performance of those cards isn't well represented there.
Edit: The whole point of performance summary is not to have to make our own conclusions. It should be the relevant performance summary, which it isn't really. Even if you look at a specific resolution only, you've got games as mentioned like SCII that are really irrelevant pieces of information.
Ah, totally missed the "minimum" bit. No wonder the numbers seemed so odd. Honest mistake, Jag87?
