Do I need to link you to a FPS graph too...if you don't know the "lingo"...why get involved in the first place....ignorance is never a good argument.
If your chugging along at 60fps 99% of the time but hit 2fps for a short time due to a hitch
Pure min/max numbers are pointless.
If your chugging along at 60fps 99% of the time but hit 2fps for a short time due to a hitch and 300fps for a few frames because you just stared at the sky box would those min/max numbers be at all useful?

Um, yes?

I've just got to ask, where is Anandtech on all of this?
Why are they benching transitional areas in the first place?
Poor review methods are no excuse.
Here is a better example.
One card gets 70 fps avg, and drops to 40 fps mins during a fire fight in Operation Swordbreaker, while another vendors card gets 80 fps avg but drops to 26 fps during a fire fight... Wouldn't you want to know that during the most heated and important time to have good fps, the higher avg card wasn't delivering?
They are reviewing peripherals, light bulbs and cases that no one will buy.
The average number in your linked graph tells us all we need to know, so how you can type that he doesn't use max-avg-min graph is beyond me. Maximums and minimums are useless

Hitman results are the most interesting. AMD single cards do really well in frame latency in every other game except here. Crossfire is hit or miss in every other game except Hitman, where it's phenomenal.
That's why I like the graphs that [H] and a few others do showing the framerate over time. Just showing the minimum framerate doesn't tell the whole story as it may have been a one time hitch.

I also like the graphs charting the frames per second over time, it's quite informative.
Plus, I mean if you use FRAPS it automatically hands you the chart on a silver platter, you literally just need to 1) open the CSV file, and 2) click the line chart button. That's quite a low burden for reviewers, so why not just include it?
