A) I own Total War: Shogun 2.

B) You were just wrong.  Just admit it.

C) The E6760 isn't even an "end of the line" model.    The most recent chip version was released in 2011.  You likely can't find it for sale because it's only sold to manufactuters through a few distruntors... since it's not a general use GPU.  It actually costs more then $100 bucks... more like 160... if you buy in multiples of 250.

If I'm wrong then explain how such a small card with a basic cooler is priced the same as the HD 7750. 

Not the E6760, the R700 card is  end of the line. 

By your logic this:

is better then:

because of the price. 

Care to restate your argument?

R700?  What does that have to do with anything?

Nor the below.  You said it didn't cost $100... and it cost less.

There are two sources where it clearly costs $100 or more.  (Well actually multiple sources for two versions of the E6760 costing more.  Including an E6760 that was just released LAST YEAR.  The E6760 clearly costs more then $100 as you can see from the last link given to you.)

 

All together though, your argument is just weird since console are often radically different from PC GPUs after being redesigned.

R700 is the chip that is comparable with the WiiU GPU.

For a 2012 console, not matter what happens, the Wii U will not be kicking out graphics that are anyway near as good as gaming PC's from a few years ago. In short, with that GPU, the WiiU really isn't a next-gen console.
