ATI probably tried to clock HD 3870 as high as possible, overclock seems pretty pathetic to me, 83mhz on the core and 225mhz on memory (and this is from vr-zone).

Mascaras or a mod, please flag the TechSpot review in the OP, due to the obviously made-up results (or at the very best a cut-and-paste mistake, but the OS is obviously no mistake) as proof below.

It's possible and You can stay there and stare at those, take your time, in the mean while I'll continue to next level. :p:
It's great with did this compare because now everybody knows 8800GT/S and HD2900XT/HD3870 offers similar or perhaps even identical IQ in Crysis.
Don't You think?! :up:
The purpose of my pics was to see if there was any changes in IQ do to LOD at different elevations. Some complained that the pics from the review were not exactly the same thus altering IQ. Because there is no change from the 2 pics I've posted we have to take the reviewer's pics at face value. It is what it is and there are differences found even though the pics are not exactly the same. :up:Quote:

i think they just got overly sensitive to the noise/heat issue after being beaten with it for 2 generations
