Notes

A straight shootout against two of ATI's fastest cards. Each benchmark was run three times. The lowest and highest results were discarded. All benchmarks were set to high/max quality. These are, after all the fastest single cards that money can currently buy. AMD's Athlon 64 FX-53 and Corsair's XMS3200XL provide the system oomph to do the cards justice. No problems to report during testing.
