Didn't Hazy Dave also say a $10 VGA card surpasses the AAA nyx?
Nowadays? Running circles around AAA.
AAA would have used an up to 64 bit bus with VRAM which
might have been able to run at up to 50 MHz. That equates to a max throughput of 400 MB/s for the framebuffer/blitter (the synchronous) side. This is easily surpassed by any onboard graphics on a $50 mainboard.
The lowest spec Nvidia cards still being sold have 8+ GB/s throughput (which is about 10% of a somewhat decent card).
