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

Eletricaly they do work. That´s the only thing I know, and by Toms review it´s prety obvious that it works with PCI-E 2.0 otherwise you didnt had those gains.

I'll say it again. You're wrong, and Toms is wrong too. HD2900XT does not work at PCI-E 2.0 speeds. Only they know how they have obtained those scores. Just remember:

HD2900 XT (512 MB) CF PCIe 1.0a x8x8
HD2900 XT (512 MB) CF PCIe 1.0 x16x16

Did you notice the x16x16 thanks to X38? The gains are caused by that, not by 2.0 bandwidth.

New Drivers to Improve HD 3870 X2 Performance

VR-Zone has learned that Radeon display driver 8.45 v1.3 will improve performance and compatibility on the Radeon HD 3870 X2 over the current 8.45 v1.0 driver. The current set of drivers is facing game performance issues so benchmarks on it are not reflective on the actual gaming performance of the card. The new Catalyst will be out before 28th January according to AMD.
