You mean Crossfire board i suppose?Just ordered one
Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start
for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was cancer of the heart
CPU: AMD X3 720BE@ 3,4Ghz
Cooler: Xigmatek S1283(Terrible mounting system for AM2/3)
Motherboard: Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P(F4) RAM: 2x 2GB OCZ DDR3 1600Mhz Gold 8-8-8-24
GPU:HD5850 1GB
PSU: Seasonic M12D 750W Case: Coolermaster HAF932(aka Dusty)
My bad, yes, I did mean CF but since I will purchase a non-ATI board, I should have just said Dual PCI-E slots

I was heading towards nVidia's 8800GT, but this looks better from my point of view. I don't care about the extra FPS since I own a LCD (60 FPS limited), luckily is '19 so I don't need to go with crossfire (like the guys with "24 should).
try crysis on 1280x1024 settings on high and some AA. se if you get constant 60 fps... xD. But if you only play cs and wow on the other hand...

DDC 3.2/petras, PA120.3 ek-res400, Stackers STC-01,
Dell U2412m, G110, G9x, Razer Scarab
3870 can do more than cs and wow - if my X1950 does then it certainly can. Last I checked the 8800GT doesn't get constant 60fps with those settings either anyway.

If it were the same price barely more expensive, I'd have gotten an 8800GT. I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting the XFX 8800GT for $239 when I had the chance. 1600 X 1050 on my 22" WS is the reason I had to upgrade.I was heading towards nVidia's 8800GT, but this looks better from my point of view.

I cancelled my order already, cold feet. I jumped on the MSI 8800GT deal at Dell. If i can score a couple of G92 GTS on launch then ill cancel that one also. Seems like ive got plenty of time to make up my mind but considering it takes me just 2 seconds to change it, im in for a long haul.
Scoot over plz.
We really have to change this thread title to "Stop ripping us off with the 3870!!!!!!"

True!
I already gave Dell two shots. They said they had 8800GT when they didn't and then 3870 for $223 free shipping and didn't. I hope they really have your's and are not BS-ingI wished I had listened to my Bud Sparks at[H] and gotten the 8800GT for less than $20 more than what I paid for this Card.
I only had this money from a bad Sound Card swap plus Cash deal. I needed a Video Card More than a Sound Card, sorry X-Fi Prelude7.1
My card shipped from BB's MauMee warehouse at 2:40PM today.
