parts, and can reach xt speeds quite easily with overclocking, and up to the maximum overclock of an xt if flashed with an xt bios (or so i have heard). If you could find one for under 130 quid, you can overclock it beyond the performance of a 3870. For...

argument all the time? :pfff: While no other reviews I have noticed a few posts here stating choppy performance on crysis using Nvidia. 1280X1024 does come under the higher resolutions performance hit when you notice that how much graphics is packed...

and the price for it? With the 3850 i would be ablo to play crysis in the resolution i told you? tthe 8800GT won't perform as well as 3870 on crysis, the lack of memory will kill it. plus u'll have to wait till 2009.. (ahem) get 3870 only $219 I thought...

performance to the 8800GTX Can't beat price. 219 even 2x of these dont cost as much as a 8800gtx I'm amazed by the blindness and dogged brand-loyalty of ATI fanbois even in the face of undeniable performance figures. The 8800 GT pounds the 3870 into the ground...

Fix for Low performance with 3870 X2 in Crysis. Maybe we need anoteher with this settings on. Simple add r_TexturesStreaming=0. To your autoexec.cfg or system.cfg (or create one) Done, fixed. E6600@3.4Ghz 2GB - 852mhz Sapphire 3870X2 Vista 32bits,...

original poster ..... sucklord ! Seems like this idiot likes to follow me around here on the forums ..... what's with that ???? Get a Life !!! I'm runing a 3870 ... Crysis on high .... 1680 x 1050 .... edited profiles for the 3870 ... runs fast and fabulous...

If you have a AM2+ motherboard then you should upgrade to a phenom II when they come out to get increased performance. The 3870 is powerful enough to run all games maxed out even at high resolution. I bought a mis-represented 3870 about six month's ago. ( advertised...

graphs and the fps graphs are not from the same place! A more credible source is right here: and it clearly shows that while the 8800GT beats the 3870 in crysis, it does not do so by a huge margin (by huge I mean 30% or more). To answer the OP: Professional...

bring something to CrossfireX with a 3870. So, I could not vote because you didn't mention the price range where the real price/performance lay in both the ATI and Nvidia camps. I'll just finish by saying that ATI or Nvidia, the $349 to $500 range is the...
