can the pcie2.0 gpu use on pcie1??
those who plan to upgrade i think need to reconsider again to shift to pcie2 rather than stick to pcie1...

the benchmarking show that new 3870 losing to 8800gt in benchmarking but in picture quality they are more detail compare to GT
vrzone also stated that Nvidia remove certain graphic detail from the game
for now i think the score still ok for 3870 as the driver probably still unmature like what happen to 2900xt last few month

vr-zone

now ATI really fall very behind edi....
what now with 88ultra ATI already lose quite teruk edi....what if the 9800gtx and ultra lauch...

probably its still new..and only few shop have it..thus they take advantage on buyer..

asus and gigabyte alway expensive than ppl wan...

for ati probably sapphire is a better choice than asus....

thier engineer must be copy and paste edi....
i see they just get 1 nvidia series box and paste the HD 3800 series sticker on it and take the picture....

bro, don throw....give me better....
btw 2600 xt still a good card for now...
if you are no hunger for high end gaming like bro ianho ..2600xt still a good card for now..

from the gpureview.. HD3870 actually win over 8800gt in term of memory bandwidth, shader and pixel fill rate while 8800 gt onli win in texture fill rate... currently the game benchmarking is more favorable to 8800gt at most of the game is built to suit nvidia card while ATI need to build thier own driver to suit the game... so i might suspecting the driver of HD3870 is not fully mature and the game benchmarking may be not accurate by now as what happen to 2900xt last few week where the new driver actually manage to push the card near to GTX

gpureview

temporary we cant say anything yet even benchmarking still show 88gt win over ati3870 but when the driver is mature probably there is turn around in the result...

i think certain shop already begin selling those card...

this is cheap and better than 8600gts at the moment..cos both around the same price...

guy 8 way cross firex in confirm MSI K9A2 Platinum
quad 3870 X2 = 8 core HD3870 running simultaneously

8 way cross fire X

i planing for sli
cos already own 8800gts edi ..now sell not worth unless some1 willing to swap with me using 2900xt

i think not because of mature driver...probably most games are make to suit nvidia and not ati but ati has to make thier driver to suit the gaming..thus sometimes benchi using gaming will find ati has lower mark compare to nvidia...

bro,
the latest driver alway have all the the update from the previoud update...it just like bios....just install the latest and will have all the update from before...
