V5 5500 is quite stunning in N3

The V5 replaced my twin V2s and TNT II with amazing results. Actually, unexpected results. My Windows has never looked better and N3 now kept me up till two this morning due to outstanding graphics. I set the AA on 2X and haven't seen any degration in frame rate. I am running a P3-500 that has special cooling but that's it. The in-car sensations gave even more depth and detail. There is now texture in the grasses, grand stand looks incredible and the cars, almost look like some of the N4 screenshots I have seen. Again, I have to admit that wasn't prepared for just how good this video card is. One card to replace 3 will help with cooling and power issues even more. This card requires that you plug into the computer power supply. Installation was a snap and the utilities are very easy to use. The Windows desktop improvements alone are worth the price of this card, however, I haven't seen a GeoForce so I don't know how they compare. If you live in Austin Texas, Babbages has 1 left! Do you remember the money you were saving for a rainy day.....guess what.....its RAINING!!!!

So how are the graphics improved between the V3 and the V5? Is it really just the FSAA since the resolution is otherwise the same? Marc.
