DP - How would you explain 2D Resolution?  

It'd be lie car racing though.  Some cars are bulit, and geared, for torque; to finish at quarter mile race in the fastest time.  And other cars are built,. and geared, to maintain 200MPH, for miles and miles and miles on end.

If the contest were to render a screensaver animation, then yes, you would have a power advantage; you would get off the line much quicker,  V3's weight would get in my way, and be a waste.  But turn the table and open the contest from the macro scale; have us render life-sized to billboard sized frames, that the judges would be inspecing with magnifying glasses, and the competition would be similalry missmatched.
