Notes

The Point of View, powered by 5900XT, gets to fight against 5700 Ultra (NVIDIA's review sample reference board) and a Radeon 9600XT from PowerColor (with 675 memory clocks, up from 600). All have 128MB of memory, all ride the AGP8X bus provided by the K8T800 and Model 3400+ combo. It's a mid-range royal rumble with no high or low-end boards to spoil the fun. Tarinder showed the gap to the high end with 9800 Pro in his graphs, take a look at that review if you want to see where everything fits in with the upper end of the spectrum.
