enuff the bs.. i have 8800gt and 3870.. in terms of speed during playing game, using fraps, 3870 has lower fps, but without fraps, i dun think i can notice it..

image quality, 3870 manage to produce sharper n brighter color, i dunno how to describe it, but those who manage to compare both, plz do so before jump into any conclusion that the difference is small..

the different is noticeable.. definitely.. i like playing games, i want to have as many fps i want, eventhough between 30fps and 34fps we human may not notice it.. but i absolutely like image quality on the 3870.. when i return coolice's 3870 last time, i felt disappointed with image quality on my 8800gt ..

so since i want both speed and quality, i bought 3870 crossfire.. nuff said..
both card got their own advantage.. it's u to decide which iis more important to u, speed or quality..

dont need 3870 . even x1900 xt enough to notice the diffrent on IQ> direct compare to 8800GT

still wander why ppl dint see it ?? sweat.gif

no more argue . let the read the review

http://www.pureoverclock.com/review.php?id=647&page=1

final word form the reveiw


Final Words


With the recent introduction of the Geforce 8 series, NVIDIA are finally able to offer cards worthy of consideration to those who deem image quality as paramount. Gone are the heavy driver optimisation; gone is hardware limited angle depedant anisotropic filtering; gone is a lack of support for HDR+AA. Since the 8600 launch a few weeks ago, there is little reason to go for a 7 series card unless you find a very good second hand bargain. But it must be said, in terms of image quality NVIDIA have done nothing more than catch up with ATI, and perhapos just nudge ahead a little (G80 AF quality can be better in some cases).

ATI's X1000 series are still a great choice as they lack none of the image quality features you would expect in 2007, you have HDR+AA support and HQAF. The only thing lacking is DX10 support

Speaking of DX10, we are no more than a week away from it's launch. With rumours of 24x AA (not full MSAA), who knows what sort of image quality advantage it may have over G80, my guess is probably very little, but we'll be sure to take a look in the next few weeks and update this article with R600.

yes... 1GB 2900XT, well, it tried both card with same setting @1280x1024 on my system... even though almost same fps, but i felt (very subjective though), the gameplay much more smoother with HD2900XT, about the IQ... it's ATi man... nothing can beat them thumbup.gif

got 2x asus hd3870 yesterday for rm860 each at cycom...my proc does bottlenecking my gc...so continue to go to lowyat today to buy amdx2 6400+...icon_rolleyes.gif

my gc clocked at 777 core and 2252 memory....and the temperature is 40-44 idle...load just tried on ut3 but low resolution only...coz due to bottlenecking occurance...still never exceed 50...

anyway does anyone own asus hd3870?? did the asus smartdoctor is the right choice to overclock the gc? or any other 3rd party software? recommend me smile.gif

Why always mention it as "welcome to the dark side"? huh.gif I noticed nagflar mention nearly in every post regarding ppl pick Ati than Nvidia sweat.gif

Anyway... I'm still waiting for HIS HD3870 IceQ3 to be available locally... hopefully soon rolleyes.gif

dark side does not mean negative or not good la . acuatly the dark side of Jedi is more powerful. biggrin.gif

anyway majority ppl peffer Nvidia which i doono why . maybe is the benchmark score or the Nvidia logo in the games .

well common sense majority is bright/better side , then the minority is dark side lol .
