No face also sexy? o.O


We want game benchmarks rawr!

The upcoming 3870 and 3850 wont be beating 8800GT right? Read that somewhere..

What is AA exactly and how does it benefited its bearer? sorry.. noob here

What about the 15k 3dmark06 scores on the previous page for 3870? Isnt that better than 8800gt?

And by then 9800 and R700 will only be a few months from launching

So on stock, 8800GT beats 3870.
But after Overclocking, 3870 beats 8800GT?
Correct?

Nope. I was referring to another benchie which is http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/540467/+160#
It's a 3870 non-cf

Nevertheless, imo, Overclocking or not overclocking, the performance disparity between the two cards are minimal at best (when taking into account how many fps the faster card gains compared to the slower one). At the end of the day, the lower priced card wins. Which is likely to be the 3870 not to mention its lower temperature.

Dont kill me if that is not the case though

rm700 is a very good price for a card that rival 8800gt for performance.

Next we need a competition(s) for our wired broadband

outclass your 8800gt in everything? I highly doubt it, if anything 8800gt outclassing it in everything by a small margin (stock) is more likely

I was expecting 8800GT to win but not by this margin. 3870 couldnt even beat 8800GTS in some cases.. Let's hope for a miracle comeback

I'm not a fanboy and never will be. I also want ATI to release a godly card that it can pawn 8800GT but reality is probably otherwise. Check out the early benchmarks from legion hardware. I made my statement based on the 3dmark06 benchmarks that shows 3870 couldnt overatek 8800GT, just get near at least at stock speed

The best Nvidia card i owned was the Mx 440.. lol
The best Ati was x1950pro followed by 9550

Review by Anandtech

Again, it shows 3870 is not able to compete performance-wise.

Edit: Perhaps a bit too quick to a conclusion, 3850 is a different story than 3870. 3850 amazingly was able to hold its own against 2900XT, and is probably a wee bit more than 1/3 of the price

Hahah.. i wouldnt wanna be the guy designing the thing above

More 3870 & 3850 ReviewsMore 3870 & 3850 reviews

Even 3870 cannot beat 8800GT 512mb, thus 3850 has no chance. 8800GT 256mb is basically the same card as its 512mb brother albeit less memory.. Which also makes it less of a performer in the higher resolutions.. how high? That's what im interested
Most probably it's at 1600 x 1200 and above

which cannot play dx10 games?

3850 got 512mb version meh?

Didnt know got 512mb vesion of 3850 .. Im really outdated

Now got 8800GTS 860??

8600gts and 2600xt has always been failure.. Despite being a newer generation card, both still cannot beat their previous predecessor x1950pro and 7900gs

3850 Extreme 512mb is an overclocked version of the standard 3850, cannot oc further.

^ 3850 also can match 2900XT IIRC
