I haven't benched it lately on new hardware, but when we got our first ones last year for our video rendering machines, we ONLY replaced the video cards. We dropped in Sapphire X1800's and first video I did out of the gate took 87 minutes to render without the X1800. After installing it, exact same video rendered in 18 minutes.

And yes, it also kicks major ass for games.
And if you want more speed....drop two of 'em in and use Cross Fire. |
