    You tell us. YOU have the cards, so also 2 versions of manuals with them, a paper and a software version, plus the CCC...

    @ mascaras: i'd say control yourself! Just wait for the 3870's of course. Or do as i: wait for the X2's to be released (Jan/Feb) and reviewed, then choose best price/performance setup from the complete ATI offering.
