Hardly. Did you even READ the reviews. In most games it smashes the 8800GTX and Ultra.

I don't think so, but probably Catalyst 8.3 will be the CrossfireX driver .

Features:
* 1GB of .8ns Hynix GDDR3 DRAM (1200MHz/2.4GHz GDDR3)
* Quad dual-link DVI outputs
* Overclocked out of the box (speeds to be announced in our full review)
* Custom cooling with dual fans
* All copper heat-plate with heatpipes linked to dual aluminum heatsinks.
* Much lighter wieght than the original reference design AMD Radeon HD 3870 X2
* Dual slot solution

the cooler will be lighter than the stock one and from the looks at the mem clock i wouldn't be surprised to see 900Mhz core on the card.

we now need a cpu to handle the power:D

yep , and the FPS are not too bad , but with the same old history @ lot of suttering (breaks)


If they (Crytek/AMD ??) Fix ALL the suttering in Crysis , i think it could be playable with Very High settings (FPS in screenshots)

If you ran a 3870 x2 with a single HD 3870 how would crossfire react? Would it see it as 3 single HD 3870 ? Also what would it default to speed wise the single HD 3870???? I am curious how that configuration would work.

user review here

can i run a 3870x2 on a 680i no problems both gpus recognised?
