too bod there isnt a comparison with regular crossfire card
looks like we have a new king and this can game 3d render and play videos

teh pic is of 1280x1024 the 3870 x2 dose alot better with higher rez ull see when u got to the link
its not like having 2 gpus make it not count the gx2 counted
what will this do in crossfire i bet it will break 30k without trying
Kinda dissapointed, it beats out the 8800Ultra on the older games, but not new games like Crysis where we need the performance boost. If it's $399 it would be a great deal, but at $449, I might as well get the 8800GTX and oc that.

how can this be disapointed? its cheaper, performs better, and you can finally decode HD movies...Quote:

O'rly it can't use more than 128 shaders hmm....:shakes:Quote:

So it CAN use more than 128SP,it's not terrbly programed and quite likes multi GPU (or atleast the Nvidia version...)
Seems to be a roughly 10-20% increase in performance across the board vs. the 8800 Ultra, depending on the game and the level of multi-GPU support.
Another review: http://www.fpslabs.com/reviews/video...3870-x2-review
20K single card 06 is about to be no big deal
Id better crack out the dice sharpish! :p:
looks wrong, gpu clock should be higher and mem clock should be lowerQuote:

Yeah, looks like they had CF troubles w/ 3dM06 but there are apparently two 3870X2 configs coming out: the 775 MHz clocked ones and the 825Mhz clocked ones. Might be up to the AIB to set their own clock speeds.Quote:

if R680 have it +/- the same performance like Ultra, is comparable to GTS-512because difference between Ultra and GTS-512 is small ... GTS-512 is cheaper then this R680 ...
You can choose : R680 - brutal heat, performance like Ultra (oced GTS-512), noisy cooler for 600USD! Or GTS-512 with oced the same performance, great cooler for 400USD ... what is better?
did you look at the numbers?Quote:

Ultra is discontinued product on EOL! Today NVIDIA has only GTS-512 difference between Ultra and GTS-512 is very smallQuote:

... OK R680 in better then Ultra ... but 2x GT in SLI are better for the same price like R680 ...
At a msrp of $450us.It appears to be the card to own.OBR you need to put on spectacles:rofl: .

Ultra isn't quite EOL yet - in fact, Nvidia still touts it as their performance king and toes the line that Ultra > GTX > GTS 512 > GT.Quote:

Reality:
R680 kickass
Cheaper and way better then 8800 ultra.
Next... :D
Let come 8800GX2.
yeah, ultra is only like 10-20% faster then new gts with AA and 3870x2 is only like 10-20% faster then ultra.Quote:

wow, you found a shop who sells it for 420€... so what ?Quote:

I suppose they haven't read the " HD3870X2 = hardlaunch (available 24th January in Dutch shop for €399) ( 1 2 3 4 5) " thread...
Anyway. Card looks promising (from the OP's review). :yepp: I want to see more (correctly done on x38) reviews though. :)
Kickass card? Its CF on a card. Could just buy 2 HD3870..they would even be cheaper. And the heat..ouch...
Its like adding 2 G92s on a card and call it kickass. It just aint. Living with all the CF/SLI bugs, specially with multi monitors is too horrible.
Now give me a single GPU card instead. And not another R600 heatmonster.
It needs to be same or cheaper than 2 HD3870 cards. Not more...
