hi..correct me if i am wrong


one thing unconfirm..this card supports pcie 2.0 and pcie x16..
but the bridge on the ( the bridge that connects two chips together on a PCB )card is only supports pcie x16 so even though if connect this card on a pcie2.0 board, it wont give u the benefits on pcie2.0....

read from a chinese site, if you put a pcie1.1 card on a pcie2.0 mobo, the performance will run better than the 1.1 one..
somehow rather if putting this card in a pcie2.0 mobo still can perform better than the pcie1.1..but it wont work on pcie2.0, it'd only recognized as pcie1.1

now the 3870x2 is 800/1800 or 825/1800 or 850/1800 by fan cooling..
read from fudzilla there is a water cooling coming on next week, one of those can hit over 900+/2000


source that tells this card will lose all the benefits from pcie2.0

a pcie2.0 card installed on a pcie1.1 and pcie 2.0 mobo, i think the different is definitely more than 1~3fps performance..
but a pcie1.1 card installed on a pcie1.1 mobo and pcie2.0 mobo, this can be 1~3fps increase when u install on a pcie2 mobo..

ya..i think the fps drive me confuse.. the percentage will be much easier to understand..thx
