hahaha, okie sold the both card already. now using your bro 2900xt.

, i thought so... now i want my card back, i send this HD3870 back to you allowing you for Crossfiring setup

Hahaha, wei sold edi wanna ask back. I pay the guy who has you 2900XT ler abit and trade in by 3870.
I sayang my card wor, my lovely 2900XT, my precious...

ho pros...
wanna ask u guy... if overclock an 3870, can it match closely to the 8800gt in terms of framerate of some games?

framerate? i don't think so... even if can... the gameplay much more smoother with HD3870 on some games , this isn't fanboyism or something, but i have personal XP with GTS vs HD3870...

, you're asking about 8800GT... of course 8800GT better, get 8800GT, forget HD3870...

lolz... i really cant tahan the nvidia color settings la...
really hard to match a nice brightness and contrast...
ati ccc is more easy to find the settings i like...

now make me hard to make a choice..

overclock an 3870 can match or even better than 8800gt(stock speed) in gaming.

same speed?
you mean both on stock speed?
the max i tried for my ex 8800gt with stock cooler was 730/1000.
it score lower than my current 3870 with HR03 Plus 1012/1350.

what ever speed as long its the same..
and ur rig setup is same too..if u compare which one score higher?hve u try it?

but with the result above..yayayaa...nice nice

3870 at 700mhz is definitely score lower than 8800gt at 700mhz.
yah, i tried both with q6600 3.6ghz.
3870 has higher ocbility than 8800gt.

nice speed u have there...if got mony i want HR03 too

go get a HR03 GT from moderno.
CNY got angpau

if only i get ang pau

HR03GT is really worth it, couple with a good fan. See my post here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/540467/+2224.

wow...glad to hear this from the pros...
if u use the HIS iceq version...
can it push quite high??

better buy 3rd party cooler such as the hr 03....buy sapphire 3870..cheaper

Says there on the box.. HD3870X2 1GB DDR3 .. but a normal HD3870 already comes with 512MB DDR4.

So.. which is better ? single HD3870X2 or 2 X HD3870 CrossFire ?

according to the current driver, CrossFire 3870 is better than single 3870X2.
i'm still waiting for the newer driver specific made for 3870X2 on this 28th.

The driver is not even optimized for HD3870 as it is now.
