ATi HD 3870 X2 (R680); Official Specifications & Images

really depends on game.

in :
- anno 1701
- oblivion
- dirt
- prey
- crysis (!)
and lost planet

fps drop when activating 4xAA is much bigger with 8800gt then with 3870.


The worse cumulated results come from really BIG problems in "stalker" or "jericho" for example, where 3870 breaks down by a huge amount.

If you take out this games, where obviously driver bugs are the issue, then 3870 performs at least equal to 8800gt with 4xAA.

Correct. It varies by game. But even with throwing out the worst and best, overall, proportionately R6xx cores take a bigger AA hit than G80/G92.

Call me crazy but in all the games in this one show that of which I speak...http://www.techspot.com/review/76-as...870/page4.html

The 3870 in Prey gets thumped by AA here.........@ 1440x900 by 14% margin???
