Yeah, unfortunately it gets butchered on 3-D, coming in dead last in just
about every test. 2-D support is awesome, Dual-Head is awesome (if you
care -- I don't because I have ONE monitor), 3-D is bad. Granted, you're
not paying for a 3-D monster, but I'm just wondering if Amiga's optimized
drivers are going to save this thing 3-D-wise for the Amiga One. Of
course, there could be a G800 lurking in the wings, as rumored awhile
back. I hope so. One of the necessary features of ANY Amiga is superior
gaming performance, and I don't think we'll see that from the G450 or the
G400.
