I recently took the time to play with SQL requests and FurMark scores database. I extracted two lists: the 10 most popular graphics cards for the last 30 days and for the last 12 months. I also compared FurMark statistics to 3DMark2006 ones at YouGamers.

Mine is Sparkle GeForce 9600 GT with cool pipe!! :))
What about ATI HD4770 ?
In my stats, the radeon hd 4770 is ranked number 32. We have to wait some months to see this card in the top 10…
befor I think that the 8800gt one of the popular cards
what version of the GTX 260 is it, because there are two versions of it.

hi guys can u guide me plzz tell me which card is Better of these two..
9500gt of 512Mb or 9600gt of 1Gb
plzz tell me if u know about card m new …
The 9600GT with 1GB RAM is definitely better.
The 9600GT FTW!!
ati hd 4890 crossfire is deff boss. i run everything you can throw at it’
Where are all the 5830’s 😀 Jk this card is brand new. I am lovin it! better then the 5770 and keeps up with the 5850 sometimes
For having the forth most popular video card the graphics are fantasitic, Radeon 4850 not bad for a laptop.
I have a Twintech Geforce 8800GT 512MB with 4 heatpipes. I get a score of 3170 omarks, and i don’t even have oc’ed it! I think that i will try that very soon….
I have an ATI Radeon 5670 with 1GB of GDDR5 ram and that does a pretty good job, running fur mark at 1080i resolution (1680×1050) it peaked at 51 fps and the lowest was 32fps so if it was in a game situation it would probably stay playable with most games. 🙂
