If this is true, then there's no point in getting one.

normally shop will quote on the high price for coming product in order to avoid any dispute from customer
i believe when the 3870 arrive it will be around 1k region

act both are considered mid end only.. the true high end for both ATi and nvidia is coming i think.. why? bcoz both cards cannot really beat their previous best cards.. the 8800ultra and 2900xt..
*
true, but i believe 3870 support cfx where u can quad cf on 790fx board but 2900xt cant
correct me if im wrong

agree.
unless you wanna run multiple high resolution monitors, else it's a totally waste of money.
bear in mind crossfire requires high rating psu.
that's the extra cost many people usually didn't take into account.

cf had been an issued since master card/slave card las time(1900xt) due to no big improvement in gaming and most of the game dont support multi gpu but the upcoming game like crysis i think u need cf or sli to drive at even at 1680 X 1050 with high setting,no current single card can do it now, i think

Not only that, CF can do on P35, X38, 965, and 975 those motherboard as long as there are 2 PCI-E slot.

wah a bit dissaspointed with ATI again after reading the review........ could the driver be the main problem ? or the low amount of TAX - texture addresing unit be the problem ?

now all depends on the retail price, if the pricing is good it might just be a good offer after all......

anyway after goin through the VR-zone review, it seems u can Crossfire X 2 different cards, 3850 and 3870 on the same platform....can someone verify this ?
*
yep, u can cf on any 3800 series card and also this is first time u can oc ur cf directly from ccc.
2900xt cant.

STUPID ATI AMD AND STUPID ME

stupid ati amd by making quad crossfire but cant make it work yet
your answer : please be patient,we are working on it
my answer : what you are talking about,next time please make it right before releasing to the public

stupid ati amd by making good 3870 but bottleneck by your processor
your answer : get a quad phenom
my answer :what you are talking about,launced on 19th,malaysia official on 22th but cant find any stock the whole of malaysia

stupid ati amd by making black edition but without heatsink
your answer : want to give option to get better after market cooling,more cool more overclockable
my answer : what you are talking about,your proc didnt like high voltage,so why do i need better cooling

STUPID ME........BY BELIEVING IN YOU
