| Expendable | Downloadable Demo Version
command line = -timedemo 640x480x16 Screen Resolution 1024x768x16, 85 Hz |
We did only benchmark with the GeForce cards. In order to check compatibility, we installed both the ATI and the Diamond graphics cards under Windows 98 and Windows NT and checked their proper functions with one single Quake III benchmark run. You won't find any notice on the graphics card check, since all three cards worked properly in all 21 boards.
