Comprehensive Graphics Card Comparison Thread

I am often asked to compare two different graphic cards. I found a nice set of specifications based charts from Adrian's Rojak Pot.

I took the charts and combined the numbers into one document. Here it is in PDF and Excel formats...


[edited] Forgot to add Intel Graphics...
[edited again] Added Zipped Microsoft Excel version

    What about the workstation cards (Matrox Parhelia, nVidia Quadro, ATI FireGL)?
    Where's my GeForce256?

    Other than that, great job!

    I believe your GeForce256 is filed under "Relic."

    Yeah... I think that Adrian dropped off cards from 6 years ago and tosted them....

    Good to see my old 3dFx Voodoo 5 5500 on there.

    Good to be rid of the thing, too. ;D

    Again, I didn't gather the info or decide which GPU's to list, I just combined all the info into one document. Talk to Arian....

    I've used his earlier info to help show the differences between two different cards... I liked it and forgot where I found the info... Now I found it and though you'all would like it.

    I'll "try" to keep the document up to date...

    Great document! Nice work. Any chance of the xls version? I was looking for something like this a few months back.

    My 8500 AIW didn't have the clock speeds listed (275/275). It was actually signifigantly slower than even the LE version (250/250), at 230/190. I've always wondered if ATI reduced the clock speeds on all AIW cards, or just the 8500s.

    This mentions the GeForce 256.

    And just about everything else.

    Actually... He changed format and I have to really do work to get the data. He has it as a "jpg".

    I'm not sure if it would be worth hand typing all the data... I'll email rojakpot to ask if he can provide a different format that is easier to reference.
