Performance Notes

This single-GPU card does as well or better than the 3870 X2, which is no small feat, especially when you realize that it costs almost half what the X2 did on its release. Of course the pack is lead by GTX 280, but hey, it's a six-hundred dollar card. So yeah.

> So why choose VisionTek over, say, Sappire?

Because 'Sappire' doesn't appear to sell computer hardware?
