Making small article about 1st gen 3D cards (not in english sorry) and want to have there also image quality screenshots from any game. Cards will be tested in Forsaken and Turok demo, but in forsaken is almost impossible to take same screenshots with different cards (fast action, tunel like game and most effects shows when firing) and in Turok cant find waterfall scene from tomshardware review, game have stupid checkpoint save system and is impossible slow with mystique cards at 640x480 - so cant go half level to place to take screenshot.
Dont talk about GLQuake or Unreal - both games wont run on most cards. Need something with D3D and Glide supporting also 4MB cards. Tried also Croc, but seems to me like game is not using much effects.
Taking screenshots with Hypersnap.
