I am just wondering, but why are you testing games like Metro and Crysis with low end cards like these?

Because we don't change games. We do turn off all of the eye candy for the lowerend stuff.

The way I looked at it, is if we changed games for lowerend stuff people would start asking how the card does on normal games 
So to keep it simple we just run the games with nothing turned on for lowend cards, makes things easier.
