Published: (last update )


No more modern graphic cards, let's ge back a bit to revisit some trully famous pieces of history. In this article, we will get back to year 2000. Starting with Voodoo4 and up to GeForce4 Ti and Radeon 9000 Series.

Performance Summary - Resolutions


Please take note the summary figures are somewhat more favourable for faster GPUs as they are more likely to pass the 10 fps treshold. Anything that scores less than 10 fps average is considered unplayable and gets zero.
