Dear Martin,

Please do test out Xen VGA Passthrough with your ATI Radeon 6870 and Xen 
4.2-unstable and let me know the test result.
After checking the computer hardware pricelist in Singapore, MSI R6870 
1GB DDR5 (2PM2D1GD5)........269, it costs S$269. Much much cheaper.
If you can get any cheap NVIDIA VGA card, please use/follow my Xen VGA 
Passthrough Version 1.6 Documentation and see if you can get Xen VGA 
Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview to work 100% successfully 
without any glitches. A cheap NVIDIA vga card like mine should cost only 
S$44.
Thank you very much for replying.
