Graphics Card Comparison Guide

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the dust-off-the-old-hardware dept.

JaniceZ writes "These days, there are so many graphics card models that it has become quite impossible to keep up with the different configurations. Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various desktop GPUs in the market as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete."

      My 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 has a fill rate of 666 MTexels/s.

      Is it any wonder this was the last card they produced?

      A texel is a pixel with boots, a big-ass hat, and an electric chair.

    That list looks like my damn credit card bill for the last 10 years! What would be really cool is if the guide had check boxes and when you hit submit it tells you how much money you wasted on all those shiney new gfx cards over the years.

    Wait... on second thought that wouldnt be cool at all.

    Fortunately, I've converted to the Mac, so I don't have to worry about stupid things like having a choice in graphics cards.

    (Sadly, I'm not trolling or being a smartass.)

    No, new P4s are hot (really, really hot), 64bit AMDs are cool.
