    EBuyer have messed up their Vid Card section..

    for some unknown reason, they have decided to "categorise" their cards..,..

    and its a MESS

    Go try to find what ya want without having any real model in mind...

    do ya look in "All Round Quality and Reliability" or do ya look in "Enthusiast" or ...maybe...."Performance Gaming"

    What a dire choice of titles.....dire.

    Go try it

    its just not...logical.....to list it all like this.

    the best ATI card they have in "Performance Gaming" is a 9600 Pro Ultimate at £111 plud VAT

    but its quite OK to put a 9800 SE into Enthusiast at £71 plus VAT

    Weird or what

    Not sure I follow m8.. do you or don't you know what you want?

    Group by performance seems OK but those section titles are confusing. Why not just Low, Mid & High performance + Specialist and if you are going to do that why seperate ATI and Nvidia cards. I don't trust Ebuyer to maintain this correctly.

    <edit> See already you spotted problems and will just get worse with time as new cards released.

    Looks like the kind of marketing nonsense without any thought that I regularly have to put up with at work....
    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

    seems they have the "enthusiast" and the "performance gaming" sections back to front... X800pro, apparently is not a performance gaming card... whereas of course, a 9550 non pro is...

    oddballs...
