and the cards improved.... the lower cards almost always get the best improvements. Read elsewhere the high gains are generally 3600 and 3400 cards. I do recall seeing something listing up to 4% improvement in 48x0 cards... just a few games though I think.

the 4800 does not have much to improve to date... perhaps Crossfirex improves... will test it later with my HD3870...
