oh man im so tempted becuase i have Gears of War on the way and my 7900gs probably wont cut it.
but i think ill wait till after xmas and see whats out then.
does the 3850 and 3870 have the same core?
so if there is a 512mb 3850 version wouldnt that be the way to go?
because single slot cooler i think is better.
it will be interesting to see when they come out with new cataylst drivers how well they will preform.
i just ordered a saphire 3870 from the egg
good job guys!
can also buy direct from Diamond Website:
Radeon HD 3870 $229.99
EBL
HIS in stock again on Newegg
What's nice about getting the Sapphire card at Newegg,
as opposed to the Diamond & HIS models they are selling,
is the Sapphire for some reason has a 30-Day Replacement/
30-Day Refund, while the other two can only be returned
for Replacement, No Refund.
EBL
Sapphire OOS again but HIS 3870 is back in stock, limit 2 per customer
Looks like there has been high demand for the 3870
PowerColor reference 3850 is up: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131071
at least they are comming back in stock. UK is still waiting for the full avilablity of all makers HIS is the only to reach our shores.
I think its nice that no matter what card you chose you get Call Of Juarez with it. Looking at Gigabyte they are doing Never Winter Nights 2 as well for the same price as others. ASUS is offcourse is the most expesive which i never get why.
ppl are actually buying the hd3870's lol ? :confused:
after the 8800gt destroyed it in every review?
The gap, which imho isn't that bad, will close with some better drivers. Also, regardless of which system I decide to build, whether Intel or AMD, I will not want a Nvidia chipset. I plan on going with 2-3 cards and the cross-fire solution is much better atm. Toss in the lower cost and availability, and imho its a no brainer.
Let me break it down here, this is my opinion..........
Lets say you do go with the ATi choice, 2x 3870 crossfire, cost is $500 with shipping..............you have $500 worth of Video cards that cannot play some games that were released some time ago at high resolutions with AA/AF....World in Conflict and Crysis.........now the smart thing would be to skip crossfire and get a single card now and wait for january for 2x 3870x2 for quad crossfire, this will give much better results...........now the smartest thing to do now, if you need a video card is to wait and get the 8800gt for a single card setup intill next year, because the $500 you just spent on those 2 video card will be worthless come mid next year.....bad investment......best thing is if you really have to save money, go for 1 3870, if not then 8800GT does come out on top in every single benchmark period. this is all IMO.
