While I'm glad ATI have had the sense to make a 1GB single GPU, I don't like the fact that the power consumption has crept up again...
so then sam what your views on the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870x2 just that a friend of mine has but order on and i just want to know if its eny good thanx
I much prefer using crossfire properly to the HD3870X2 - you may only need one slot for the X2, but it has a very noisy cooler and is difficult to cool even with an aftermarket solution because the heat output is so high - additionaly, it lacks the flexibility of disabling crossfire properly like you have with the single cards. Last time I checked, buying two separate cards also worked out cheaper.
kool i glad im going with the single card solution witch reminds me did u see my qustion in that other thead
firstly, hope this is real and its coming early early june in time for alone in the dark secondly, I hope that the 4870 is not more than 300 thirdly, it needs to play crysis 60+ fps without aa highest settings
Which resolution? I can probably make that at 800x600, but anything higher and it isn't happening. I'd like Crysis to be playable maxed at 2560x1600, but that's going to be a dream on situation for many years to come...
When I first read that I laughed and thought someone had made it up, but a bit of googling later it seems like it really will exist - clearly ATI think adding numbers to the memory technology will help their cause...
