looks like a 7900 cooler
Looks like an 7900GTX cooler :D
It looks really nice, but did they fired Ruby? Who the hell is that girl?
This has been posted long time ago and yes the cooler is almost an exact copy of the 7900GTX/GTO cooler, it only seems to be extended on the right side a bit as far I can see. At least ppl buying this won't have to worry about swapping cooler if staying with aircooling. Best stock cooler I know of so far.
Just from looking at "her" I would guess its "Lara Croft". Just a guess, though but I am fairly certain of it.Quote:

That is NOT Lara Croft. That is just a Sapphire girl, a sticker-babe. And Ruby is ATI's demo-babe, you can only find her on ATI reference cards. Most retail manufacturers put their own logos/babes/images when they have time to print them.Quote:

Silly me, all GDDR4.
Big cooler for that core.
all 3870 are gddr4, at least all i know.
cooler looks nice, but why should someone want that hot air in his case ?
Yep, the newest Zalman looks like that. Lets see how it will perform:)
lies...Quote:

omg! thought this was fake, its clocked at 905 core
The cooler is neither 7900GTX/GTO nor Zalman VF-1000, as both of them
have 4 pipes and the fan in the middle; this has 3 and the fan nearer to
the slots. It looks similar, though.
more companies have got to start doing the non reference coolers. warranty, game bundle, and cooler is really what separates the cards from each other, and the cooler seems the easiest to change.
also, i prefer just the logo of the company to the computer generated girls on the card
Sweet ill have two of those please!!
Any ideas of clocks on these cards?
nice but... the 3870 only produces around 80W under load afaik...
but thats a great cooler for vmodded cards :D

nice cooler
:up:
are we sure they aren't just selling rebadged 7900 GTXs?
performance would be roughly the same no? :D :D :D jk

just switch nvidia with ati and you have almost it
thats definatly a 7900 GTX heatsink... which I definatly like, since I still consider the 7900 GTX heatsink the best stock heatsink I ever had.
No, they aren't.Quote:

And now ?
it's not cheaper then gddr4 cards, it's not cooler, it's not faster.
Nobody would buy it, so why should i care ?
my thoughts exactly.Quote:

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:
