Having just installed a Diamond Monster Fusion card, I can only say 
that once Xig stabilise the drivers it's going to be pretty scary.

Not much of a benchmark, but I get over 10,000 rpm out of xengine on 
this card.  Not bad for $99.o

The G200 is a smarter bet if stability matters though; the Xig driver
for the Banshee has wedged and rebooted my system several times so far
this week.
