Good review but I think the guy should have waited a while and compared it to the XT rather than the old 9800 pro.

I bought this card a few days ago, the open gl performance is staggering, way better than my 9800pro could ever hope to be, I've never had a card that performed so utterly flawless with gl based games however I'm still out to lunch on the d3d performance. Sure I may have got a 5619 score in 3dmark 03 but when I play UT2k3 or unreal2 the performance is good but not all that good, actually its about the same as my 9800 was but I expected better from a "the way its meant to be played" graphics card.

5619?? You should be getting at least 6k.

well i'm still running pc2700 and an xp2600 cpu, I know if I bought some pc3200 the performance would go way up :/ I only scored around 4500 with the radeon.
