101 3D Graphics Cards Tested

Posted by Zonk on from the comparison-shopping-for-the-anal-retentive dept.

Phantom69 writes "Ixbt Labs have spent a month testing 101 graphics cards in 14 different games. They used one reference system, and tested at two different resolutions (800x600 and 1024x768). The cards cover virtually all the major manufacturers ATi, nVidia, 3dfx, Matrox, PowerVR and S3 from 1999-2004."

    Geforce beats Radeon in every game except Unreal Tournament, a game that opens with an Nvidia splash screen that says "the way it's meant to be played".

    I'm all for freedom of choice but isn't the sheer number here overwhelming evidence of just how pointless the cycle method of graphics hardware has become? I'm continually amazed at just how much people are willing to blow time after time on a consumer component.

    The GeForce 3 Ti500 destroys all other cards at the Quake3 800x600 and RtCW 800x600. A difference between 1st and 2nd of >5fps. We need a whiskey tango foxtrot on that one.
