Please, for the love of god STOP using gray font on white backgrounds! You're just making it needlessly difficult to read/interpret the graph! Use BLACK fonts or invert the background to black and use white/light gray fonts. Trying to read something on a very bright white surface doesn't need to be made more painful guys, stop it!

You do realize that the bars have the numbers in very strong numbering right there inside them? The lines and the numbering along the bottom of the graph are secondary in this format. In fact, many places that use bar graphs don't even use measures anymore, and just give the data on the bars entirely.

The "Frames per second (Higher is better)", system specs and similar pieces of information in the other charts are specifically the parts that I'm most concerned about. The (Higher is better) part is virtually invisible on my display.

I can make some adjustments to that. The exact look of these graphs are constantly changing as I find better methods and ideas for conveying information. It's all very much a learning process, as an artist I really have never done graphs and stuff.
That said, you might want to avoid the yelling about it on the internet approach. It certainly didn't make me sympathetic.

On my laptop, I can definitely see how it's hard to read, but on my desktop it looks fine. Weird, but we should probably avoid it.

Christ, talk about exaggerating stuff.. :S
You might wanna increase your contrast setting, because you really should be able to see the grey font.

I can echo what JMC said and it is indeed a good idea to avoid it as it is a genuine complaint for people with bad eyesight and bad monitor calibration.
That said, you're doing a great job on those articles MaJoR and JMC.
