Graphics demos

[Pawnless Endgame]

Rather than benchmarks that gives you a score, graphics demos are all about pretty graphics, showing off your card's capabilities. Some demos, at just 4 kilobytes, show off the programmer's capability. This is quite a contrast when e.g. the MS Office suite requires over a gigabyte these days.

I use www.scene.org a lot. I also tried a few demos from pouet.net tonight. Avira picked up a Trojan horse from one of them, so be careful if you use pouet.net. Do you guys use any such sites?
