Abstract: With DirectX 10.1 support & great performance the HD 3870X2 will be perfect for gamers, though HD3870 will face stiff competition from nVIDIA\'s 9600GT..
Huge performance – when it works, It seems to work most of the time
Dependent on Crossfire driver profiles, Big, hot and very power hungry
Need some extra speed? Just bung on a few more cores. Thats the prevailing philosophy guiding the development of PC processors these days. In truth, its a pretty effective approach and seems to be the only viable option for making the most of the eve...
The ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 is, on balance, the fastest graphics-card in our line-up. Given just how it achieves its lofty performance - literally adding two Radeon HD 3870 GPUs on to one PCB - the result isnt surprising, so if you cant win the straigh...
Abstract: 3D is intrinsically parallel. We find parallelism at the level at which data is manipulated (4 component vector), but also with the instructions applied to that data. GPU manufacturers have understood that fact well and it’s around this main idea (w...
Turning back the clock a little over a week and thinking about our first day testing the 3870 X2 we remember that the overall opinion on the product was one of utter disappointment. Regardless of how good the card was on paper and how competitively pr...

This concludes the DX9 section. To sum up our results: Good performance: Call of Duty 4(this one also shows the best scaling to QuadCF out of all the games tested), S.T.A.L.K.E.R., HL2:Lost Coast and UT3 Medium performance: The Witcher with a single X...
Quad CrossFireX is appealing from a technical hardware enthusiast standpoint. However, it doesn’t exactly produce the gameplay experience advantages needed to live up to the price tag required. The one game that really needs it, doesn’t utiliz...
There is no doubt that ATIs Radeon HD 3870 X2 is definitely a technically achievement with one of the first cards weve seen with two major GPUs together on the same PCB and not rather two PCBs stuck together. It resolves many of the issues weve seen...
Excellent performance in ATI CrossFire mode, Wide range of supported FSAA modes, Excellent quality of anisotropic filtering, 640 shader processors, 32 TMU and 32 ROP, Good start for the future: DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support, Fullyfledged hardw...
Insufficient driver optimization, Performance in each application depends on driver support, Relatively high power consumption, Relatively high price.
It’s time to come to a conclusion about the new graphics card from AMD, ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2, but our tests produce a rather ambiguous picture.The new card is a technical success. The developer had managed to accommodate two RV670 chips with all th...
