Hey all
I have a bunch of random PCI and early (1x / 2x) AGP Video cards (with a few 4x to) from various companies (ATI / S3 / Nvidia / others) that I'd like to benchmark just for the hell of it to see where they fall against each other. I've never gotten into benchmarking in the past so I wanted to know if there were any tips on setting up the system to do the testing? I have boards, procs, memory, etc around but didn't just want to throw anything together without getting some advice. Do I want a proc that is faster / newer than the video cards? Anything in particular about memory / HDD / motherboard? For the tests what are the recommended benchmark apps to test these mid 90s - early 2k cards? Looking to learn a lot more about the ins and outs of the cards along the way as well.
Appreciate the advice as I'd like to get this setup and start testing!
