YouTube'ing Video Cards

[BTJustice]

Anyone use YouTube much when shopping around for video cards? I came across this video of CoD4 on an 8600 GT. I looks pretty good...

Anyway, just a few on YouTube...

8600GT
8800GS
8800GT

err. no. Youtube videos use highly compressed .flv files. There's no way you could really be able to compare image quality and framerate from youtube unless the cards were dramatically different in the first place. I mean, just by saying that you think the 8600 looks good goes to show that it's entirely unreliable

Yeah good point. Plus it is hard to tell what the game settings are.
