One place where you do get a lot of pixel overdraw is in those games that like to display tons of layered alpha textures, for example, to do a forest. You might have to run this kind of game at a lower resolution. Still, I'm not really worried, at 100 MHz it's going to be much nicer than I'm used to, since I never have gotten around to installing one of those mainstream space heater cards. And the possibility does exist that the clock can be ramped up over time purely by refining the soft logic, a prospect that I personally find very exciting.
