The 'Best Bang For The Buck' list is generated based on users' submitted default 3DMark06 results (1280x1024 resolution, no Anti-Aliasing, no Anisotropic filtering) correlated with the lowest price per component from CNet's shopping feeds. The processor used for the lists is Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, which is the most popular processor amongst YouGamers users. All lists are generated and updated twice a day. The performance estimates do not include systems with cooperative adapters enabled.

Please note that the lists do not reflect any official view or performance rankings by YouGamers or Futuremark Corporation. All lists are as is based on user submitted performance data, and component prices by CNet.
