All these cards over the £160 mark don't offer good value. When you can get a £100 card now to play nearly any game at high detail on a 22" monitor, whats the point in spending more than you have too. The market for graphics cards over £100 is getting very very small.

What percentage of gamers who want these cards do you think have anything over 22" for a monitor?

What percentage of gamers don't even have a need for a £100 card?: The majority. Outside of the majority there are different groups with different needs- some of which will be met with a £100 card, and some of which will need a £160 or greater card. If Hexus only ever catered for the majority then you could expect nothing but reviews of integrated chipsets :p

But so why does a card like this only get a review score of 70% - Because you have to take into account value. Any card over £160 does not represent good value because a £100 card can do pretty much everything a £160 card can do for 99% of people.

And I don't think any proper gamer really uses integrated graphics on a chipset.

That sounds like snobbery. The majority of gamers use integrated graphics. If you're making arbitary divisions you might as well say that proper gamers only use 24"+ displays and need £160 cards :p

I remember the days of 9550 and 9750 for games just two choices from ATI, and Nvidia were Geforce 2 and 3, then came MX, pros, XT etc etc
