We were slightly amazed at the performance difference between our old Athlon 64 3500+ and the Core 2 Duo E6300. With the Core 2 Duo overclocked to 2.8 GHz, the performance we're getting with this new setup is practically double the one we got with the old setup. That's good, because now we can see the Radeon X1950 Pro perform when system limitation isn't in play. Overall, all the Radeon X1950 Pro offer similar performance if not identical. The Gigabyte Radeon X1950 Pro may look faster than the other two cards at 1280 x 960, but that's very likely just normal variations between runs.  All three cards should be fast enough to play Serious Sam at 1280 x 960 with AA and AF or 1600 x 1200 without AA and AF with graphical settings set to their max values. HDR may still incur an additional performance penalty, so if you enable HDR with AA and AF, lower the resolution to 1024 x 768.
