Actually I do care if its the fastest single card solution for sure! Personally I would rather have a faster card even if the price/performance ratio was wasn't that great, if a 7300GS had the highest price/performance ratio it would still be a 7300GS that might not be great for gaming, benching, or whatever else you might use your card for. I see where your coming from but some people really don't mind paying a bit extra for higher performance, even if the price/performance ratio isn't that great.

I think everyone has a different tolerance, but personally I won't go below a 3.5:5 ratio of performance-to-price... i.e. if I'm spending $250 on a card vs. $500 on a card, and the $500 card is only 20% faster, it's a 20%-to-100% price difference, thus 1:5 ratio of performance-to-price = no sale.

Explained that way it makes a lot of sense for sure! I sound like a bad consumer when I say I'd happily pay considerably more for extra performance even when that extra performance isn't linear with price!
