ATI HD 3800 Review Thread

[purecain]

i havnt had any of the crossfire issues with the drivers that came with the card (8.43).
i have to say the performance so far has been anything but shabby. these cards actually run crysis V.well in crossfire @1680x1050 with V.high settings and no AA. same for world in conflict @1680x1050 with all settings maxed except AA. i just couldnt do that with the 2900's...

Looks to me like you are using XP......venture into Vista x64 territory for a second and you may have a different experience.
