both graphs show how low end and high end components scale in their individual tests but the two tests compared do not show how CPU scales vs GPU. they are completely seperate tests with different base hardware. CPU and GPU aren't the only factors to take into account when doing a test of this nature. now, if the two tests were done using the same amount and type of ram, the same game, the same or equivalent motherboard(to include chipset) comparing the two graphs would amount to something. unfortunately it doesn't. in the two tests, mainboards aren't the same or equivalent, the x-bit test uses 2GB of memory but the anandtech test doesn't say. there is no control and no way to effective correlate the two test setups.
