Well, I think its important anyway. We *need* to have something our users can stare at, and it cant hurt to have video card manufacturers see their cards compared side-by-side :-)
I've completed the graphics and layout for the website now, and have layed out the top level pages. So, its time to get some real meat on them, and for that I need lists of supported features on various video cards. I have compiled a list of features (by scouring the marketroid trash from various card manufacturers), and categorised them as best I can (I dont understand all the terms (yet!). so, here (below) is that list. Feel free to suggest extra entries for the list, or tell me I have put something stupid on it (I wont be offended!), and help fill in the fields. For now, I would like data for: Radeon, Rage xxx, Mach64, i8xx, matrox Gxxx, voodoo 3, 4, 5, banshee, and 3Dlabs MX/Gamma Please tell me if the features are: (A)ccelerated (U)naccelerated (N)ot available on that hardware (S)oftware rendered due to being unavailable on that hardware. Heres the list... 3D features ----------- Anti Aliasing Fullscreen Line / edge Glyph (text) Double buffering Page flipping (==db?) Filtering Bilinear Trilinear Anisotropic TCL Triangle setup engine Key frame interpolation 4 matrix vertex skinning Shaders Vertex Pixel Texture handling Texture compositing Texture compression Video textures Perspective correct texturing Texture morphing Texture units available / used by DRI Displacement mapping Special effects / highlights Specular highlights Bump mapping Emboss, dot product and env. bump-mapping Spherical, dual-paraboloid and cubic env. mapping Fog effects Texture lighting Reflections Shadows Spotlights 2D features ----------- Video de-interlacing iDCT accelleration Misc things ----------- KTX buffer region extension Guard band clipping Gamma control Dual monitor support 3D glasses support _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
