The really interesting thing in the table above is the difference between the newer and older cards in terms of clock speeds. Both the Voodoo5 and the GeForce2 GTS break the 125MHz core clock barrier, with the GeForce2 GTS sitting up top with a 200MHz core. This doesn't necessarily count the Voodoo5 out. Sounds cool, to be sure, although it may be ahead of its time. Unaware of a PC based HDTV receiver, we weren't able to test it out.
Texture compression is increasingly more important.
As engines advance, it won't be long before we see games sans repeating textures. Textures will be painted on the walls by artists, rather than being tiled on. Fillrate Fillrate is king. Ok, well, maybe it's Queen. Until recently, fillrate was what made the 3D world go round.
