Review
I achieved 63 fps average in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast @1440x900, max details with 8xAF and 4xAA and vertical sync ON! At the same time 44 fps reached with 7600GT and 49 fps with 7900GS at the same settings..and water and HDR lighting look much better than nVidia 7000 series. 128-bit memory makes no difference as it outperforms the 7900GS which had 256-bit DDR3
