source only..the ting that piss me off was, if i put my other ATi Graphic card, theres a sound but if i replace it with this piece of shit 3850 i doesnt work..i have checked my sound video game controllers on DEevMgr. and i have audio card working properly..i...

but there's no sound from here on. C&C 3 runs fine but the sound is choppy in both FMVs and in game. I'm using a Radeon HD 3850, and I don't have a sound card but my mobo (Gigabyet GA-G33M-DS2R) claims to support HD sound. Are these specs not high enough?....

to what you have listed as its specs, I doubt it would be enough to run the 3850, I cant be 100% sure but i personally would be looking at upgrading the PSU as well. I can tell you for a fact that the 3850 wont fit unless you move the HDD. The sapphire version...

Vista 64 bit, with Asus P5K-E Mobo, 4gb ram 465W psu My original card is Ati Asus 3850. (everything is fine) Received a ATI Sapphire 3870 today and installed in primary PCI-E slot, and started computer (without 3850). Got driver errors was asked to reboot,...

GPU. Oh thanks strangestranger for making me feel welcome with my first post. Anyways to those of you who are being helpful, thank you for answering. So a score of ~6200 3Dmark06 points with a 3850 sounds right to you guys? it just seems like all of the reviews...

8600 is terrible in SLI, not worth considering at all. $200 seems a bit steep for a secondhand 'new' 7950 especially considering it is from a friend. For the budget concisous gamer the previous advice recommending a 3850 is very sound. Did they fix the...

the Jedi" (not because nVidia is evil, just that they were on top...) I'd call an 8800GT midrange at the pricing it has. Its only $40 more than the 3850. Sounds like the extra is well worth it to me. Nvidia is evil, they didn't give intel SLI license and they...

that the difference is pretty minimal between the 1GB 8800GT and the 512MB GT. So what gives? Why does it seem to be getting more common for these cards to be equipped with 1GB of memory. The two that I know of are the 8800GT and the 3850. It sounds like...

for some folks with the 3850 and 3870. Other users are saying the video card drivers are trumping the sound drivers and taking the sound drivers place. I can't figure out how to fix this . I installed a 3850, new PSU, and ram for my brother inlaw. Well as...

I'll try the Omegas again and perhaps the DNA drivers as well. It's either the weak PSU, or crappy drivers, possibly your sound drivers. Reload your board's sound drivers in case the HDMI sound drivers installed with the 3850 stomped on them. ding ding...
