ATI HD 3800 Review Thread

[DilTech]

Its comparing the 3850 to the 8800GT a little like comparing apples to oranges. A better comparison would be to use two 3870s, which from what I've seen just on this forum, the 3870 in crossfire out performs the 8800GT in SLI. Have to be impressed with these scores.

That was going by scaling percentage, NOT performance percentage.

Technically, dual 3850's should "scale" more from single to double than 3870's as generally percentage increase for lower end cards is almost always higher.

Also, have we still not learned that 3dmark scores don't always translate into gaming performance?

Certainly, just look at the graphs in this thread and from what I can see the 3870 also performs in games better in crossfire than the GT does in SLI. But the sarcasm was fun regardless.
