video cards

Is there some site where they list equivalent video cards.

For example, when somebody says a TNT2 class video card…what does that mean?

I know it means “a video card that supports the same features as a TNT”, but it would be nice if there was a site that has them nicely listed.

That is about like the Rage chipset from ATI I think. As for an actual list can’t say I have heard of one. The main generations to remeber are geforce 256/ radeon are dx7 hardware T&L enabled. Radeon 8500/geforce 3 first cards with shaders. radeon 9X/ geforce 4 dx9 support pixel shaders 1.4 or something like that.

It will help you to come up to speed by reading articles from www.cnet.com, www.tomshardware.com, www.anandtech.com, etc. Look for the product reviews/comparisons.
