Damn.... 4 cards so powerful.... But need a full tower/server casing to do so.... Really high-end....

the 3870 X2 only got one CF slot. i think it can't...
anyway, dual core gpu already in the market quite long time already....

this build for HD3870 x2 is better than 7950gx last time..... at least this HD3870 x2 still 1 card we can see but 7950gx is 2 card quite huge

last time there are also several dual gpu card in the market such as asus x1800xt, gecube xt1600xt, 2600xt...but its quite rare actually...

ya i know...thoe x2600xt gemini which review is hardwarezone .....
the ati dual core gpu is better than those nvidia for temporary like 7950gx which is huge compare to ati 2600xt

maybe i'm only look up to nvidia and seldom see the ati card, maybe i dont like red colour for wat i know, dual core gc only in ATI right?? nvidia seems like a step behind or somethings is the 3870 X2 can go X4 crossfire then we should call it, ATI HD3870 X2 CF X4

i think that time can ply crysis at ultra high high high high settings, without hving the gc fully load then it will be no game that's unplayable....

i thought 2600xt gemini is 2 mobile gpu in one single card??is the performance same like desktop gpu??

I doubt a 1000 PSU whether enough for this 4 graphic card
I think all of us will more interest with the benchmark result.

damn nice gc there..
i like it..

i dont know how to see benchmarks actually, so i ask for how much the power it use, if 1000W not enough then i think is need a 2000W psu, more than the current of the electrical appliance at home, and probably he need a three phase wire to run that

and of course the cost..

if RM1.5k for each GC then 1.5k X 4 = RM6k
new electrical and wiring would cost about 10k, who would buy it?? Bill Gate

not to mention the electricity bills if it need higher than 1000watt...
but this 3870 already improve its power consumption right??

Bro,
sorry my bad, hardwarezone review is 1650xt gemini

2600xt gemini
1650xt gemini

I think don't need to buy super high-end PSU la... Get another PSU to power-up the GCs then can lor.... This time really everything multi already lor.... So tempting to get ATI now man.... Have to sit back and wait for any changes... Maybe NVIDIA has some tricks under their sleeves..... I believe the real champ is the HD3870 X2... Total 8 GPUs running simultaneously.... Can play on 50" plasma without any hiccups...

everythings is multi, my money not multiple yet...

one psu one gc...4 gc 4 psu ....cant imagine the electric bill ..

1gc 1psu, 4gc 4psu, it would be 4times of yr electicity bill

Oh my..4 cards in one rig..wonder what's the performance wise..really can't wait for the benchmark results lol!

i wonder why wanna compare 3870x2 with gtx.. from the name itself shows that radeon 3 series is suppose to fight with the to-be-released nvidia card or at least the new G92... not the one that had been released last year!

if people comparing the coming radeon with nvidia 11 months old card, then it shows how slow ATi is..

summore there's no point for ATi to produce a card just to fight with gtx or ultra since nvidia has makes lots of profits from those 2 card already..

the new released 3870 currently looks disappointing and seems imcapable to fight with either gtx or ultra..

i think ATi is using wrong strategy by naming it with 3 series.. suppose they just put name like 2970 to avoid high expectation from end user..

note my keypoint.. currently..

i think the keyfactor here is the driver.. if it is true the dissappointing performance now is bcoz of driver, then ATi can only win if they manage to come out with a good driver before the new nvidia card comes out.. if not, then they are just going to repeat the same mistake like before...
