I discovered Phils collection of benchmark utilitys today and originally just wanted to compare a couple of OEM p1 systems I have but as I was putting everything away I happened to loom over and notice my pile of PCI/ISA cards just sitting there so I figured...what the hell.

sorry I didnt make a fancy graph. I do have 2 questions after all this.
1) why is it that some cards crawl when the DOOM demo plays but Quake almost always seems at least playable? is it because Quake relies more on the CPU then the video card?
2)whats going on with the Tseng 4000? I knew it would be behind the PCI cards but I thought it would be at the top of the three ISA cards I tested but instead its suspiciously about equal with the Trident?
