I don't know where to really find this information, yet Nvidia seems to do a great job providing it.

This link here: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/tag/guides

Specific game examples here:
Metro Last Light: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/metro-last-light-graphics-breakdown-and-performance-guide
Skyrim: http://www.geforce.com/optimize/guides/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-tweak-guide?sf2686171=1#1

This link has multiple guides showing the differences in game play settings on games. Some of the guides even show performance hits for each setting. This type of indepth analysis is great when deciding what settings to enable based on performance hits. What settings impact graphic quality least to you, and give the biggest performance boost, so that you can continue to enjoy games at great graphical levels and good FPS.

I understand some of this is most likely Nvidia marketing, which of course why wouldn't they it's their website so...
I'm wondering if anyone has any other links like this?

I'm sure compiling this type of information would help people as well in picking graphics cards.
X card can handle A combination of settings at 60 FPS and B combination of settings at 45 FPS
Y card can handle A combination of settings at 45 FPS and B combination of settings at 25 FPS

These types of reviews of course are great, but coupling this with actual images is really helpful. Obviously graphics reviews don't always show images, but these reviews from Nvidia help me see which settings are actually important for me to have enabled.

If anyone has links to guides like this it'd be great. Thanks!
