Really slow 2D performance lately

ATI has not yet managed to implement a number of pure GDI functions in its Radeon HD 5000-series cards

Nothing really new, just the same situation as in Linux. Cards are incredibly fast, but required features aren't implemented in software.

Look at the 7050 vs a GTX 285

I need that 7050 beast, must be the hell of a gfx card ;-)
