Tom's 46 Video Card Roundup

0 FPS?

[ScribeOfTheNile]

I noticed there were about three cards that produced 0fps in a number of the games tested. Isn't that just a little bit low-quality?

Wow, 46 video cards at Tom's!

At an estimated 7 pages per card, plus 4 pages of exposition on the front and 3 on the back, plus a big chart: a whopping 330 pages of ads estimated! Go Tom!

Obviously, you failed to read the story but posted as soon as you had the chance. Would you happen to be a Slashdot editor in training?

My Atari VCS runs asteroids and lunar lander reasonably well. Why should I upgrade?

You can view gorgeous hi-res truecolor high-quality tiffs at 0 fps ...

#1) New cards are faster then old cards
#2) Old cards are cheaper then new cards
#3) Best bang for your buck = older cards

FEED ME, Seymour!

I agree with you 100%, and hope everyone else does too!

I get nearly all my hardware from dumpsters and recycling bins, so the faster you upgrade the better my stuff is.
