it's not cheaper then gddr4 cards, it's not cooler, it's not faster.

just ignore him. there are no 3870 with gddr3 (that someone would care about)
that looks more like a 3850 with high clocks, they use the same gpu the only diffrence is the ram (but the 50s have ddr4 now) and votageQuote:

maybe it's just OCed 3850, who knows.
fact is : stock 3870 gpu clocks + lower vram clocks for more then stock 3870 price -> useless.
it truly is... making a 3870 with gddr3 in my opinion is false advertising, even if they take a gpu that was binned as a 3870.
I have actually ordered one of those and have sold my reference Sapphire 3870. In the UK it is pretty cheap in the 3870 grand scheme of things. Is this new Sapphire card based on the reference design or is it tweaked at all?Quote:
