Often times on here, we talking of GPU performance in OS 9.
I've managed to assemble a collection most(if not all) the high end OS 9-compatible video cards, but don't really know how to stress test them under than watching a program draw and rotate shapes on the screen
I've never been a big gamer, but would like to try some "turn of the century" games to give my hardware a good stress test. I've spent some time hunting the Garden, where games seem to either be mid-1990s(the much-maligned Rage 128 is more than enough for these) or 2003ish or later and are OS X only.
Ideally, I'm looking for some things from roughly 2000 or a little later that are OS 9 native, whether OS 9 only or carbonized. Hardware requirements are NOT an issue, as I have OS 9 hardware better than anything that was available from Apple and also have the "king" Geforce 4Ti(or a couple of them) along with some other high end cards like a Geforce 3 and Radeon 8500.
Availability on "the garden" would certainly be a plus, but I will also hunt things down on Ebay if need be. I'd appreciate any suggestions on this.
