Can you say more about the test conditions. Are these texture mapped,
z-buffered, perspective correct, 3D triangles?

To define a bit of 3-D performance perspective, the low cost ($150) 3D
accelerator (NVidia Rage 128) in the PC I'm on is rated at about 5 million,
texture mapped, z-buffered, perspective correct, 3D triangles per second.
I'm not sure the processor (Pentium II-266) can come up with 15 million
vertex values/sec though, so actual milage may vary.
