Good idea.

Tip: You could make the code simpler. Make a function:



Then your mainstream code just becomes something like:

well it didn't seem that big when doing it. however its to show you what your card may be able to do which is what I did it for, all 52 commands.

cheers BatVink may try later and see how much smaller it could be made.

Don't know if would be good idea to state graphic cards that have a full house.

Then one can deside on which ones to buy?

My radeon 9000 64meg as about 11 with red lines,which are these:-
anistropicfiltering
blitsystolocal
calibrategamma
cliptlverts
mipcubemap
mipmapvolume
seperatetexturememories
onlysquaretextures
nonlocalvideomemory
texturesystemmemory
wbuffer

those are the one that are not available on my card.

Don't know what most of them are, but it's not all bad. For example, onlysquaretextures is a negative aspect, it means your card wastes loads of memory, and you can't make screen-dimensioned sprites, for example. So it's good that this is red.

That's pretty good idea HowDo. I'll post mine when I get home tonight. Also, if anyone wants to post some of the definitions (especially usefull ones like BatVink's).

You could change results like 'onlySquareTextures' to 'allowNonSquareTextures' so that all green is good
