i like the asus one the best, it looks like they colored the 1st output a different color than the rest so its easier to identify

[G.Foyle]

LOL @ box: "Extra GPU!!"
sounds like extra 15% of orange juice...

That Asus card with 4 DVI connectors is prett pimp. Use 2 of them to drive 8 30" displays *drool*

[dnldnt]

Yes... nice pictures indeed, but... when we can read some nice & real reviews? ( GURU3D , NORDICHARDWARE , OCWORKBENCH ... - just my opinion )

[Shalamay]

toms has thier review up

[Baron]

Club3D card in the pic isnt a 3870 X2 XT is it.

Just looks like a normal 3870 XT

[dnldnt]

toms has thier review up


The review has been taken off from there because of the new launch date ( i guess ), but also the NDA date has been delayed? This is all you can find...

" ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 - Fastest Yet!
January 23, 2008 00:01
AMD has taken back the crown for the most powerful graphics card. Read on to see how the company did it and how the HD 3879 X2 performs on a variety of benchmarks. "

[naokaji]

so, judging by those pictures displayport has been a publicity stunt by amd and will not be on the next highend cards (i.e. 3870x2), also they still fail to put a hdmi port without the need for stupid dongles and adapters on the back.

but oh well, aslong as it performs good its fine.

[Power5]

Love the look of the Asus, but cant see the need for 4 DVI ports. I would have much rather had the standard 2 ports, and an exhaust vent.

[Chewbenator]

I like the cover art on the powercolor :)

Nice variety of cooling solutions. The Asus is one beasticle of a card!

[Morais]

The Gecube ones is awesome:slobber: better cooling, 4 DVI's and 2x 6 pin connectors.

This is the real winner right here. I suspect that if they test the cards head to head, this one will probably have the best cooling/noise ratio, and possibly the best temperatures. Plus, it's pretty. :)

[GoThr3k]

reminds me of 2 copper boobs with a fan :p:

or maybe i am frustrated because of exams

[G.Foyle]

So it's dual PCB in the end, who cares one PCB is only for DVI connectors :D

EDIT:

lol, i must be frustrated too :D

Is it just me or does it also seem to be a tad shorter than the others? Oh well, we'll find out in the end and it's probably just a bit of an illusion.

[saaya]

i love the "extra gpu!!!" sticker hahaha
buy 1 get 1 free :lol:

This one has also 4 DVI ports :clap:

[situman]

Is that big chunk of copper cooling the bridge chip?

[Drunner611]

LMAO, now we have 3 threads for this silly card.

Thread 1 (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=170385)
Thread 2 (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=174376)

And this thread. :clap:

That box looks Photoshopped. The left, side of the box... the two vertical lines dont seem to be parallel.

[metachronos]

Can you crossfire these?

[Origin_Unknown]

yes

[G.Foyle]

Yes, but only two. (so no Crossfire with 8 GPUs)

yea those pics get rushed usually. very slovenly. kind of ironic when you think about it.

I thought more of Johnny 5.

That card does look good though. I might have to get one of those sometime... I'm a sucker for dual pcb/gpu cards. (7950gx2 anyone?)

[jinu117]

What's theoritical usage of bandwidth on the new 11ft plasma tv? :)
Definitely will need more than 2 DVI... maybe 4 is required? :P

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

the MSI graphic and the Gecube look very nice, I think the ASUS will be overpriced and poor performing as always is the case with asus VGA

[bluep3ace]

iirc they aren't pics, but a texture put on a 3d box, so it's rendered.
so it's rendered quickly.

looks like it may have 4 dvi ports too.. or am i mistaken?

edit: i should have read the whole thread 8)

[Origin_Unknown]

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/4971/post171201050657fy8.jpg

i wonder if you can take off the extra dvi connectors? also it looks like 6+6 power?

[Morais]

yes, 2x6 power pin connectors

[CCUABIDExORxDIE]

the gecube doesnt look like the card pictured in metro.cl's thread, in metro.cl's thread, the card has 1 6pin and 1 8pin connector and they are onthe top of the card instead of the back. weird...

[biohead]

uh i know. shoulda said images then.

[chew*]

The asus looks decent but.........that alot of unwanted heat in the case....I wonder which way they are directing the heat if any......if towards the pci's arctic coolings flop comes to mind.....

[dnldnt]

I've found this on asus website - HD3870X2 already up but no specs.

[Fujimitsu]

Asus design = :clap:

The rest suck.

Why do ATI cards always look so ugly? Personally I don't want a stupid looking ninja woman on my bright red card, black is fine thanks.

[Zytek_Fan]

Asus wins with their own version.

Reference cards doesn't matter to me.

I want to see what HIS will do for nonreference...

yeah man, I was just looking at the 3870 IceQ edition and i think that I will wait for either the IceQ 3870x2 or check out the waterblock options.

[BustaH]

Hers the HIS version, I had to order one today...

let us know what you think :up:

[BustaH]

Will do Origin unknown,

I posted a question on another forum re the pcie 2.0 thing.
I have a dfi x38 coming from the usa this week which has pcie 2.0

Untill then this will go in my commando, [tommorow] will performance be limited with the lack of pcie 2.0?

[Origin_Unknown]

i'd say so yes but there is a sticky at the top of the news section with the 3870x2 reviews :D

i'd be buying one tomorrow but i need to fix my pc

Kinda weird, I don't like the non-standard heatsink mounting holes. However it has 2x6 pin power connectors and it's shorter than the reference card, I guess that as long as it has good quality components it's ok :shrug:

[YukonTrooper]

Haha, "Heart Touching". WTF? lol.

[Zytek_Fan]

Blasphemy! :D

Enjoy the card :yepp:

The only colour acceptable for ATi cards is RED! :D

Or HIS blue :)
