I'll buy it if its around 400$ max.
My order for 8800GTS went down the drain. Online vendors suck hard here with stock management.

So, any word on compatibility with x38 mobo's? I really need 2 of these...
They will work.Quote:

I feel sorry for ATi as 3870 is all the R6XX chip can give and all they have as a replacement is R700 which is going to be MCM package.
CorssfireX and Hybrid Crossfire are warmups for the R7XX GPU's.
A link would be good.Quote:

Look at 7900gtx vs x1900xtx in early 2006. Ati was back by around 10%.
Today x1900xtx is like 15% ahead, increasing when AA and AF come into the view.
I think end of 2008, 3870 will beat 8800gt, maybe earlier.
End of 2008 would be already too late for ATI.:(Quote:

3870 X2 has two GPU's which means 2 waterblocks. atleast till someone makes a single block that covers both of them.Quote:

Any indication as to what the power supply req's will be? Also, I didn't see anything stating the amount of memory on the card
No,the PLX bridge chip only uses 4 watts(as far as I know).So no extra cooling required.Quote:

mabey 1GB od memory? id love 2 :D dont know what i would use all that for though lol
could just cut a up a cpu heatsink and stick it to the plx
If this card hold up on performance, I'm sure there will be a full cover block around for it. We'll see, but 2 gpu blocks on one card would be a little pricey, so at that point a full cover block would probably be the answer.
wow, the card is going to be very long.
7900gx2 style :D
Should draw less power than 2 seperate 3870's. Memory is 1 GB total, 512 MB per GPU.Quote:
