Huge comparison of video cards from yesterday's to today's at Tom's

I thought this was quite interesting...

Tom's VGA Charts

This will let you know how your video card stands in the ranking of things, especially with newer titles.

Cheers!

that's very intresting, just what i wanted to see too...

anyone know where a 8500le '64mb' would fit in to there?
i just ordered a system similar to that test system with that card and i'm not sure, but i think it'd be about the original G3 speed?

It would be a notch or two below the 8500 64mb BBA due to it's slower memory and core timings in most tests.

Kind of a neat and good for reference. LOL, remember how excited everyone was over the TNT2 Ultra? Seems like only yesterday.

My Geforce 2 GTS that I had a few cards back was NASTY when it first came out. I found a great deal for only $275 when I picked it up on Ebay.

And my 1mb ISA video accelerator was pretty nice too when I paired it up with my 486 DX and 4 mb RAM

It was not much longer than yesterday (1 week to be exact) that I finally upgraded my TNT2 Ultra to a GF3 Ti200! Seeing those scores, I now know why I hadn't bought any new games in a while! :Q Making up for lost time, though...Playing Jedi Knight II, MOHAA and Max Payne now and loving it!

Plus, this Gainward card oc'd to Ti500+ levels!

i remember playing Unreal1 on a 233mhzK6 in software. bought a voodoo2 for £50 and couldn't pick my jaw up for the next month. that GF2 then my current GF3 did the same in demos and games. but only for a week, not a month. damn, i hope NV30 changes all that.
