Videocard/video chipset comparison

[VladTheImpaler]

Guys

there was a site I was visiting some time ago (quite long time ago actually) that had an exhaustive comparison of videocards. I remember there was a big table on the webpage and many features of each videchipset were compared (memory clock, core clock, die size etc). There were old cards there as well (like Voodoo's and Voodoo's 2). The problem is I do not remmember the address. Anybody remember seeing something like this? Or anybody know of a site with similar kind of information?

Vlad

This what you are looking for? The older 3dfx based boards have been dropped from their monthly reviews now, but they still cover a ton of them.

Tom Pabst does it too sometimes, but I don't think he goes all the way back to Voodoo Graphics...

For some reason, I'm not the least bit ashamed (or surprised) that we apparently store loads of links to comparisons of (partly) ancient graphic chips.

Well actually, I am ashamed. That we need the lists at all and don't know them by heart!

I thought the TNT was 1x2? Does anybody remember?

Those 9900/Pro stats look insane. Can't wait to see how they stack up to the FX2/U.

Horvendile: nVidia didn't implement TMU > Pixels until GeForce2.

Riva128 was 1x1, TNT/2 was 2x1, GF256 was 4x1, and everything after is 4x2

I thought the TNT was 1x2? Does anybody remember?

Nope, the TNT was 2x1. Each pipeline was capable of single-cycle bilinear filtering, and when multitexturing was disabled, the two pipelines could work together to produce a single trilinear-filtered pixel per clock.

Tagrineth and Chalnoth:
You are right of course (though that page isn't), and I was going to say that when I think about it, I remember my TNT box stating 180 Mpixels and no other fancy texel number... but then I recall that the box actually stated 250 Mpixels!
They probably just didn't bother redesigning the box, since the TNT had been out a few months when I bought it. (And it was a TNT, not a TNT2.)
