Mmm, in that case, I have to admit that I don't see any difference
(except brightness) between the TNT2 and V3 screenshots in that
review.  :(

Is it really that obvious (as the review states) to anyone else?  The
only screen shot that demonstrated an obvious difference in image
quailty was that 3D Benchmark (text) shot at the very end.  The V3 ss
looked pretty awful there.
