In addition to the usual performance and feature scores, we've incorporated an element of 3D graphics performance in these VFM calculations. We've given this a fairly small weighting, since gaming isn't the primary purpose of these systems, but as you're paying a premium for the fastest 3D cards offered in these systems it needs to be taken into account. Our Editors' Choice systems, the Viglen HomePro 350 DS and Roldec Predator XL 350 MMK, strike a good balance between these two extremes. This chart shows our assessment of the relative value for money for each of the products in this review.
Longer bars represent better value for money.
Products are sorted by price, with the highest price at the top. Where products have the same price, they are shown in alphabetical order. The resulting raw VFM scores are then made relative to the lowest-scoring product. To use the graph, first see which products fall within your chosen price range, by looking at the column of prices on the right. The best value product within that range is then the one with the longest bar.
