Our review of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti highlights that it is, on average, 33 per cent faster than a GeForce GTX 460 1GB card . The large performance variation intimates that the two GPUs are a class or two apart - a fact that's true when looking at the relative performance of two reference-clocked cards.
Of course. But the point is this.
1) Do people really run games at 2560x1600 ? As far as I can tell most configs in the list don't even have monitors that support that kind of resolution.
2) Anything above 35-40 fps is unnoticeable to the human eye. So isn't 45 fps and 75fps almost the same thing ?
My point is that something like an SSD drive or more RAM would give a huge and very noticeable performance gain. Like, for instance, 75% or more faster load times in, say Starcraft 2; or an equivalent current gen game.
Why not spend money on things that will improve the performance of current gen games (like ram and ssd) instead of dumping so much money on bleeding edge graphics cards/CPUs when the current gen barely even utilizes cards like the GTX460.
There are a lot of computer review sites in the USA that even now list cards like the gtx460 but have 8gb ram and an SSD card for mid range gaming setups.
The games you have mentioned are very unoptimised. They need lots of processing power as well as a good GPU.
They are all very mainstream and very highly rated games, none of them are unoptimized ......
but yea i agree they all require a good cpu and gpu.
People who have high budget have it coz they can spend more. The configs are keeping in mind the budget and full utilisation of the budget.
yet it's possible to spend on the wrong thing that either cannot be utilized to it's fullest capacity or isn't even used. Much like how the i7 is completely useless for gaming.
A 60 GB SSD costs as much as Rs.7200.
You are saying SSD are so good. Suppose I want a 500 GB storage. I will have to buy around 9 SSD's and half the money of a config will be spend just on Hard-disks. IS it that usefull or good? Hence they are given as optional upgrades.
60 GB SSD can be used to install only 6 Games the size of Crysis 2(which is quite less for most people)
95% of people who will even spend Rs.100,000 on their PC will go for a 1 TB HDD which costs Rs.2700 approx rather than they only get a spending triple that on a HDD that has 15 times less storage.

You are missing the point of using an SSD for gaming. Games have typically huge load times (SC2, for example). An SSD greatly speeds this up, as does having a sizeable amount of RAM.
