Price is everything in Malaysia smile.gif I am also planning to give ATI a try. So far after visiting a few friends, I would conclude that ATI's rendering is the best, no matter how many framerates 8800 series can ditch out.

Also a side note, their latest drivers are really working well in the correct direction, at least they finally fixed some damn bugs in their code tongue.gif Hopefully in 3800 series, they can do much better.

getting rather exciting now with all these new benchmarks smile.gif But too bad, I have to upgrade my entire system to actually use it.

But I still hope ATI/AMD regain some of their market share, so that the eternal war goes on smile.gif And much better pricing for consumers

I am impressed with the pricing too smile.gif If I am building a new rig, will surely keep an eye on this. Most importantly this chipset supports Crossfire and with this strategic pricing sure would get a good response from enthusiasts.

And also it's just on time to meet Crysis's launch date haha

I dunno whether this has been posted or not... Quite interesting.... It seems that the 3870 is just a bit behind of 8800GT...

I think there's no 512MB version of 3850.

If you are asking this question just for the sake of fun, then don't expect a good answer tongue.gif Who would know for sure until an honest reviewer gets the green light for publishing?

But heck, the pics from guru3d.com sure is scary. If that's the finalized size, I am sure 95% of people who intended to buy will eventually pull out because it's so troublesome to modify your casing just for a GFX card tongue.gif Unless of course your casing already have removable HDD rack

As long as it's the same 3800 series, it could crossfire with each other. That's one of their goal to achieve
