Hi, often I hear snippets of information about modern or not so modern graphic cards. Some people tell me every modern graphic card can render on textures, other people tell me just the opposite. So this is kinda confusing and not very reliable since nobody can test 100 cards at home. This leads me to wanting more detailed information, something I can plan with. Is there anywhere on the net something like a chart which lists a big big bunch of cards and explains their capabilites? It would even be nice to have an overview of the capabilities certain productlines of cards possess. Maybe someone has stumbled over such information before and can help me out. Thanks in advance.

take a look at this couple of sites:
