Manufacturers do not outright lie about numbers. They do however tweak them for the best possible benchmarks. Be sure to see what kind of system they put the card into before relying too much on the benchmark scores.

You do not have to spend $500 on a video card for good gaming. There are plenty of cards for a lower price that will do the job.
