I will dig up some info. But i had no information about many videocards
(like a top Nvidia's ...) and my test machine is not wondering with
speed yet.(It's a P4/1.8)

 I can perform tests of some geForce's and radeons (i had fedora core
to, so interesting compare tests is will be provided to). I can run
tests on almost any modern version of FreeBSD ( 4.9(or 4.10), 5.2.1 , 
on any snapshots of -CURRENT)

So is there anyone hwo had matrox and other cards? If anyone will give
me info about matroxes, intel's integrated chips , and so on i will be
able to create a good table of results.If someone will participate -
lets decide what is the 'test suite'. ports/graphics/realyslick/ ? or
some game ?.

in 2-3 days i will publish my own tests on http://pisman.info/xfiles/ if
noone will show me something better i will use realyslick& xscreensaver.
