This Alienware Graph Make Sense to Anyone?
ok, so, I was going through alienware's website seeing how ridiculously overpriced I could make a computer (because I needed to remind myself that i could have wasted even more of my money on a computer
 ), and on the graphics card page I could not help but notice this graph: so, umm, what? what is that graph even comparing?! it made me laugh so i thought i would share.

Well, the scale of the graph is distorted to display a larger gap in performance. The graph starts at 94% and ends at 114%. Most people will be like "OMG twice the performance?!?" and buy the 295's, when in actuality, theres hardly that much difference.

"With crossfired 5870s, you'll get almost 1.02fps, but with gtx 295's in SLI, you'll get almost 1.12fps!"

Tru dat! I am totally confuses as to how those numbers on the graph show any correlation to the graphics cards! How does that graph illustrate a 12% difference?
Mega gay! I would totally buy an Alienware laptop if I was rich though! I love aliens! Anyways, yeah, that's all.
