I've seen plenty of conflicting benchmarks. One says that the 3870 does almost double the GX2 in World in conflict with the highest settings, another said the 3870 did half. Have you guys found any good benchmarks comparing these two cards? I've yet to see a benchmark claiming to compare them in Crysis with the absolute highest settings, they all drop at least one of the settings to just high, or leave AA off :-/. Boo.

Tom's Hardware has yet to fail me for hardware reviews, GPU's in particular.

Here's my opinion on the card. It is one of the best (if not the best) gaming GPU's available. However that comes at a severe cost. You need both a 6pin and 8pin power connector, and monstrous PSU. Not to mention that it is slower than dual 8800GTS G92's in SLI.
Personally if you really needed dual-gpus on a single card the 3870 would be the better value.

Wow I'm behind. I didn't know they made those 'til now. I couldn't find many benchmarks for it, do you still have a link to them? Thanks. |

I've got the 8800GTS 512's in SLI - they rock. The cards are $150 less per card than when I got them too.  |

What frames do you get with Crysis maxed and a 2-4AA?

I guess this is party month in the video card world. AMD is going to release the first dual core GPU. According to unverifiable benchmarks it is notably faster than the 9800GX2. Nvidia released the GTX 280 as a replacement for the G92 GPUs. Not faster than the GX2 but still a marginal improvement at an appropriate price. I hope AMD's GPU is that good. They need something to help pull them out of the water or else we're going to face a market with no competition and prices that suck as much as the bandits in Mongoose' avatar. |

Still no DX10.1 from nVidia though. First they go on a tirade against Intel... now they go against DirectX? wtf is going on? 4870 X2 is gonna be epic win. Although I'll settle for a 4650/4850  |
