I run 2560x1600, so to me it is extremely important that a high-end card can perform at high-res. As far as the avg's being "low", the minimums are important to me, in fact what drove me to buy a 5870 over my then-current GTX 280 even though the averages weren't as spectacularly high like the minimum gains were. As SKYMTL said of course, can't really judge a ton off of the FarCry 2 bench there without context, but if minimum gains like that turn out to be the norm in real benches across review sites, then it would be a smashing success of a card: I don't care if it can spike to 150fps while maintaining a 60 average... I care if it can stay above 45-50 while maintaining a 65-70 average, even if that means the max is only around 100 then
. Max framerates and by extension averages can be easily skewed with that.
