For whatever reason I cannot find any benchmarks for A4000 Zorro III based Mediators in this list.
Apparently this part of the Mediator line has been "forgotten", as the Radeon gfx card (providing the fast fake DMA buffer) simply does not work there due to the missing 3.3V power supply, and never will work there.

Maybe you missed this paragraph from the original Elbox Radeon press announcment

Compatibility
The Radeon Mediator drivers are designed for all MEDIATOR models. However, as most of the Radeon 9200 PCI series cards require the 3.3V auxiliary PCI power supply, they will work out of the box only in the Mediator 1200 TX and Mediator 1200 SX busboards with the ATX power supply.

PCI Radeon cards may also be used in other Mediator models, but it will require installing the Radeon card in the special PCI adapter which provides an auxiliary 3.3V power supply. Elbox is planning to produce a PCI 3.3V power adapter riser. It will include the bracket for the low profile Mobility Radeon 9200 card model available in Elbox Online Store.
