OpenGL Performance & Performance-Per-Watt For NVIDIA GPUs From The Past 10 Years

The last test for this fun historical comparison was Xonotic with ultra image quality settings, which still isn't enough to fully tax the latest Maxwell GPUs. From worst to best here is a 67x difference.

The Maxwell graphics cards are more than 20 times efficient compared to the GeForce 8 series.
