Bud, performance was THE ISSUE for me too!!!!!!!!

I had TNT + V2 SLI >>>>>> I got rid of TNT, and kept V2 SLI.

Most reviews, show V3 3500 slightly faster, or TNT2 slightly faster. The
point is, if these reviews are accurate, then in terms of performance, they
are basically the same.

That leaves the other crap, that you know about.

The choice seems clear >>> TNT2 is vastly superior.

My only fear, is that the TNT2 will have the same shitty quality 2D as the
TNT did... hopefully the faster RAMDAC will make it acceptable (I'm running
at 1280x1024 on a 19" trinitron).

I honestly, can't think of ONE reason, why I should get V3 over TNT2. Can U?
