I recently found out there a little DBPro utility for checking all the features that your video card supports (found it at http://www.darkmagic.co.uk). It runs all the checks that DBPro has commands for (like TEXTUREVIDEOMEMORY AVAILABLE). Trouble is, I really don't know what most of these features do, or what they're good for. Does anyone know where I can get some definitions of these functions?
I went ahead and put the utility on my site in case you have a slow connection to the UK:
