I have seen many people on the forum who are in a dilemma on how well will their newly bought or yet to be purchased Graphics Card, perform in their favourite games. Most of the benchmarks are usually just a Google search away, but i wanted to compile them at one single place, with only those cards, which are being recommended here (more to be added soon).
People who are soon going to buy a new graphics card can be redirected here to check how well their favourite game perform on their card at different settings. This can pretty much give them an idea on what to buy and what not to.
I have not included the Low-End budget cards because they are not meant for gaming in any way and are only for HTPC rigs.
Note
Game performance usually varies with varying Processor, Hard Disk performance, and other factors. What i have done here, is to give an approximate idea on how will a game run on a GPU. It is clear that when they were tested, there was no bottleneck whatsoever and the card was able to perform to it's fullest. So, even if you have different configurations, you results won't vary much as long as you don't bottleneck the card.
/Note
The Game Performance includes benchmarks from games like Battlefield 3, Crysis 2 and Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim. These are mostly GPU Intensive games and performance will NOT vary much with varying configurations.
Note
For those of you wondering, Going Hunting is a Single Player mission in Battlefield 3 and Caspian Border is a Multiplayer Map

Integrated Graphics Processors
Only a fraction of the available hardware has been included here, will be updating with more benchmarks for other CPUs, APUs and IGPs later on. In the meantime, only 5 are included with Intel HD 2000 and AMD 6550D IGP.
Intel HD Graphics
Intel HD 2000 Graphics || Intel HD 3000 Graphics
Note
Only the following CPUs from Intel use HD 3000 Graphics -
Core i7 2700k
Core i7 2600k
Core i5 2500k
Core i5 2405S
Core i3 2125
Core i3 2105
So if your CPU is not in this list, it supports Intel HD 2000 Graphics (provided it's from second generation).
/Note
AMD APU
HD 6550D || HD 6530D || HD 6410D
Note
AMD APUs supporting different graphics.
A8 3870k|HD 6550D
A8 3850|HD 6550D
A8 3800|HD 6550D
A6 3670k|HD 6530D
A6 3650|HD 6530D
A6 3600|HD 6530D
A6 3500|HD 6530D
A4 3400|HD 6410D
A4 3300|HD 6410D
