PI + 6.86 > 10
ya big noob... looks like another serious contender in the cheap-performance area... just depends on the *actual* pricing I guess... all these new cards in the UK are so expensive lol, not anything like as cheap as the estimated dollar value... -------------------- ( How To Ask A Question ) · ( OCC F@H Sigpics ) · ( OCC Gaming ) · ( OCC Rules ) Opteron 170 (naked) @ 10x260=2600 · Thermalright Ultra 120 (lapped) · 2x 1GB G.Skill HZ PC4000 @ 260, 3-4-4-8-1T HD4850 512MB (Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 rev2) · DFI NF4 Infinity · Audigy 2 ZS (Hotrodded) · PCP&C 510 SLI/Express EeePC 1000H @ 12x167=2008 · 1x 2GB Corsair VS PC2-5300 · GMA 950 @ 400 MHz · Gigabyte Aircruiser N300 GN-WI06N ( Socket 775 OC Competition ) · ( Socket 775 OC Database ) · ( USB Bootdrive Guide ) · ( Modding & Computer Stores List )  |

Pricing is $179.99 on the 3850 and $219.99 on the 3870. Its just an awesome performance value.

Those are good prices in comparison to the nvidia cards I am with mojo when he says hes waiting for the new drivers to come out curios to see what kind of performance enhancement the drivers actually push out. Those rydermark scores were much lower then I thought they would be too. Good review

Thats fine and dandy but when its not exactly stable its not a smart idea to start overclocking thats my point.

i wish the reviews had other cards like the 7900s or 1900x cards for comparison, other than doing the benchmark myself i cant tell if my cards better or not. using the same games (far cry, COD2, Quake 4) it shouldnt be to hard
