Here it is link to HD 3870 review and Crossfire X. Well, it's only in 3dmark and o/c, but soon there should be more tests. Look at words about heat and noise, 2slot cooler is quiet and card is cool (3870 40*C+! and 3850 30*C+) - it seems tahat both cards have great O/C potential, I wish ...

And another review: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=203346
Look at image quality in Crysis OMFG, but well there is 'too low FPS' for these cards don't you think ?

We're waiting for more reviews. But rly in my opinion at price 219E in Austria HD 3870 is awesome card. And Crossfire X ... HD 3870 and cheper 3850 working together mhmm !

Cool now the competion between nvidia and ATI can begin... so hopefully there will be better cards for less money

The 3870 really looks great.. thnx Truly

Well, that's why I am here for Not only watch but write also heheh.
And additionally I'm so excited that HD3870's performance is comparable to 8800GT, that I must show you these reviews

Yeah great stuff you found there truly! I have been a Ati fan for ages, haven't got a Nvidia card for 4 years and i am sure i will keep it that way. I did a small testing as well btw.

After m disappointment with Vista i decided to reformat my PC and go back to XP, so guess what I installed Crysis Demo again , played it everything on Hight with 1280x resolution on my 22''Belinea and i would say i had an average fps of 30 + , i couldn't believe it, I was really exited because on Vista i only mange to get around 18-25 fps on same res but with few setting even on Medium, plus i had a few lag spikes on Vista! So the point is Vista is not good enough, and i would suggest it to use for Crysis only with Best PC's at the moment out there.
