Answer me this - if that BD chip was $50 would you even consider buying anything else for gaming? What about $100? How much is that 1.5 extra fps worth? This is the reality of enthusiast gaming, not ridiculous 600x480 resolutions.
Why are you arguing cpu performance with gpu performance?

The cpu does the same amount of work regardless of resolution (as long as all the other settings are the same)
Yes, a game wich has 3-400fps with 1024 resolution is rather pointless, since you obviously dont need much cpu performance for it to run great. But what if you get a game that runs with 100fps, or 50fps @ 1024?
Thoose 300 and 400fps would tell me SOMETHING about what to expect, while those 130 gpu limited fps you want to see wouldnt tell me a daam thing about cpu performance in that game.
All that 130fps shows me is that both cpu is enough for that game(but nothing about newer/more cpu dependant games).
