Reviews For 8800gt and ATI Radeon HD 3870

Review On 8800Gt
The behavior of the two graphic cards giants is all the more unusual (and reprehensible) after the launch of their new Direct X 10 architectures. Generally, high end cards quickly give way to mid-range cards with more interesting performance-to-price ratios.

Review On HD3870
One of the coolest features of the Radeon HD 3870 X2 is that you don't have to get a higher priced AMD 790FX chipset powered motherboard with 42 PCI Express lanes to run a pair of Radeon HD 3870 X2's. This means that this can run on lower priced chipsets like the 790X that offer just two x16 PCI Express slots. The Radeon HD 3870 X2 is set to be released in Q1 2008 if all goes well, and after seeing it in action, I have no doubt that it will come out. AMD is making a comeback in the desktop graphics card market, so sit back and relax as the marketing wars are just now being drawn up.

HD 3870

The HD 3870 X2 sounds awesome. This is the first time I've heard of it. Well, it's still a rumor, and The Inquirer does have a reputation of periodically posting bogus material. Even so, I hope they release it and fix the current 3850/70 Crossfire problems.
