Yep. Most sites mention how horrible the 8800GT sounds at full load...of course [H] is missing from that, but they're kinda in the NVIDIA camp...


My conclusion is that the 3870 is a pretty good card for the price. It matches or is beaten by the 8800GT (mostly beaten), but remember this is 2007, almost 2008, I'd hope most of us that are gamers aren't still ape over FPS. True, FPS is important, but image quality is what really matters. I would love to see an image quality comparison from an owner of both cards here
