<What follows is a bragging post, nothing more >

My gaming performance has, at the very least, doubled

Built-in benchmarks
Counter-Strike Source: 1680x1050 everything maxed 220FPS (was 109FPS)
Supreme Commander: 1680x1050 everything maxed 44FPS (was 20FPS)
World in Conflict: 1680x1050 everything maxed, DirectX9, 35FPS (was 15 FPS)

In-game FPS
Call of Duty 4: 1680x1050 everything maxed haven't seen it drop below 55FPS (was hovering around 25FPS)
Quake 3: 1280x1024 everything maxed (of course ) 125FPS (was 125FPS)
Quake 4: 1680x1050 everything maxed 63FPS (was 63FPS)

Haven't had a chance to test other games yet...
