    We liked this video card a lot. Not only because this particular model from Sapphire comes with a liquid cooling solution pre-assembled, but also because of its good performance for its price point. On 3DMark06, which simulates DirectX 9.0c (Shader 3.0) games, Atomic HD 3870 achieved a performance similar to GeForce 9800 GX2 and was a little bit faster than the new and expensive GeForce GTX 280 (5%-9%) when no image quality enhancements were enabled, but when we enabl...

    Conclusioni Prima di questa scheda sembrava che AMD avesse deciso di abbandonare la fascia alta del mercato delle schede video: invece il produttore di Sunnyvale ci ha dato dimostrazione che le cose non stanno così. Inoltre, la 3870 X2 potrebbe essere solo un´anticipazione di quelli che saranno i prodotti grafici ATI del futuro, soluzioni multi GPU che si differenziano nel prezzo e nelle prestazioni solo grazie al diverso numero di GPU integrate....

    Getting components to work together in groups has been a constant theme in the evolution of computer technology over the last several years. Implementing dual channel memory, multi-core processors, and hard drives in RAID arrays allows for greater system performance and prove that the concept of teamwork doesn't apply just to people. Graphics cards have also taken advantage of this idea, as both SLI and CrossFire setups have become increasingly popular with computer e... Read more
