Evolva

After re-testing with ATI's newer drivers, our results in both benchmarked when up a little bit, almost 4FPS in the Evolva Bumpmapped test. Without bumpmapping, the Radeon outperforms the Ti500 by a bit over 3%, but when you turn bumpmapping on it outperforms the card by over 10%. That's quite a nice boost for a card that we found on SLPrices for about $25 cheaper with dual-monitor support.
