Performance Notes
Here we're seeing more of the same. It's fast alright, but I don't like how it scales with anti-aliasing turned up. I should hope that a 1GB version's around the corner, because if it's anything like the 3870 1GB, it will make a difference.

> So why choose VisionTek over, say, Sappire?
Because 'Sappire' doesn't appear to sell computer hardware?
