25k 3Dmarks 06 thats gay ~~

damn that shows that quadfire and trifire scales at every reso.. unlike sli and tri sli

brilliant score although i believe it can hit another 3000 pts with adult drivers

how long do we need to wait for mature drivers
single HD3870X2 score still loses to 8800GTS OC in some games

lets see in early March.
crossfireX driver will be release,and we might see the true power of 3870x2

hope so

fingers crossed

With Catalyst 8.3 due to be arriving today (supposedly)...here is an update on HD3870X2 to whet our appetite...

Specs are more or less the same with the exception of the memory. Here's a source to look at: http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/PowerColor...GDDR4/5633.html

this powercolour design seems better then stock design, altough it's fater but shorter...........

wander how good is the price

Should be roughly the same since the original HD3870X2 GDDR3 will be cheaper after the introduction of the 9800GX2 and 9800GTX. Also, note that the Powercolor one has 3 DVI and 1 HDMI.

3*80mm, uncessary noise perhaps....... or they need to pay patent fee to artic cooling.........

btw clayclws, the earlier picture u show is from power colour too rite? why only 2 dvi port, 2 different version ?

I mistakenly named them HIS, when they are actually Powercolor's as well. But I got them from a Serbian website. Took sometime to translate with Google Translate. Seems like there are different versions. Not sure which will be out because those photographs are taken at CeBit...Release dates may be in March, but most likely 2nd Quarter before the RV770.

still prefer reference design

The fans are too noisy and the heatsinks have low thermal dissipation efficiency. GDDR4 is better for OC-ing.
