I have a Radeon 9000 64Mb DDR.
My old Video Card The Ati All In Wonder 128Pro 32Mb DDr could hardly get to
30Fps @ 800x600x32Bit
And Never reached 100Fps.
This one in a simple test of the lesser power of the card hit close to 100
easy. In a mid test, as much as 387Fps
And complex test never below 215Fps and up to 253Fps.

You, seriously, need to learn how to quote.

Anyway, if FPS is all one cares about, go for the FX line. Otherwise,
ATI. FSAA-wise, they are blowing the socks off of the nVidia cards.
