Ever wondered what 3D card to use?
If you want to offer the best gaming machines possible, then the graphics
card has major impacts on overall perception.
The following review is quite in depth and if you are unaware of the
benchmark tests and terms used then complete explanations are given here.

If you are new to gaming then it is worth bearing in mind that the newer the
graphics card, the less chance there is that all the patches already exist
for the available games/software. eg. When we originally installed a RIVA
TNT 2 card on one of our machines (seems an eternity ago now), the patches
to allow the card to run Quake iii were still under construction.
Fortunately, it worked with halflife. Additionaly, Unreal Tournement ran
like a pig, the patches are all available for this card now but it was at
least 6 months before a decent UT patch was released for this card.
