- gedrap 13y agoBecause the video card is made by a small startup (not much info in their web site, just mentions 2 founders) rather than multi-billion nVidia/Intel?
- zokier 13y agoBecause they are demoing it with a benchmark suite from 1999/2000 (you see WinBench 99 and WinBench 2000 in some segments). Presumably because the hardware can't handle more modern stuff. Heck, it seems to be struggling with demos they are showing.
- jere 13y agoThank you. That's the answer I was looking for. I had figured they had written their own demo software to show off the capabilities, but a benchmark makes a lot more sense. Though now that I know they're using benchmarks from last century (and struggling), I'm even more confused about why this is exciting.
