@rygorous @mogwai_poet Good point. I couldn't find data on whether the TNT2 did single-cycle trilinear. So, yes, if you consider all the bells and whistles the RE did "for free" (using a *very* technical definition of "free", considering its price tag ;), like trilinear and MSAA, you'd probably come closer to a GeForce 2 indeed.

@KeyJ TNT2 IIRC was half throughput for trilinear (still that way today!), and might've also been half throughput for 8-bit/channel textures (this was the age of RGB565 textures), with the two stacking, but I'm less sure about that part
