Hello,
I am going to do a new PC build this fall but have a great runniing 939 AMD Opteron 2.7 ghz system at the moment. It has a 3850 AGP 512 card. I would like to have a back up in case it fails...would he HIS 4670 HD 1024 AGP be the best replacement? Thanks in advance. JMD

The 3870 certainly must have been rare!! I can't even seem to find who made them let alone find one to buy!

Can anyone tell me who made these "limited edition" cards?

Also was there ever a 3850 with 1024 mg of ram?

Yes the 3850 is a fine card for its type. Actually running Witcher 2 at above moderate settings and it looks great. I know I’ve hit the glass ceiling and am currently working on a new build configuration.

Best
