but, in theory, a copper heatsink will duct heat off the core fast than aluminum - the aluminum heatsink will give that heat up quicker. I'd reckon to say that both cores will run about on-par at the same temp with each other. Anyhow - Awesome and concise review, W1z! Those cards are looking mighty promising! I'm not too surprised to see such low scores in Crysis, though. I'm guessing that there still isn't an "official" driver from AMD/ATI yet? Hopefully, with a couple of driver releases, we should see the potential of these cards come out of the woodwork. Kinda shocked by the lack of PCIE 2.0 support, though - I wonder why they went that route ![]()

I think its been stated a few times why its only PCI E 1.1.
The bridge chip uses this speed, and Ati's partners wanted the card out ASAP. There is a PCI E 2.0 version of the bridge chip, but I don't think they had time to use it. |

as wizz no longer has the card, the best he could do is google it. Best to find it from another review, and paste it into the comments here.

(Yes, I saw Wizzard's post about not having two 3870s. Perhaps we should start a fund?) Also, it seems like page 5 and up from on this forum causes Firefox to crash for me. Anyone else getting this?

Am I the only one that thinks ATI could launch a cost-effective 512 MB variant of this card?
Also, do the current drivers allow using two of these in CrossFire? |

I did mention it a while ago, my time is fairly limited but I could at least do one a month to help out if your stuck. I will have 2 good boards to compare it with also (Once my x38 DQ6 is returned).

This review, while a little thin, does give some comparison to a 3870 crossfire setup.

I'd do mobo reviews if I'm given a template, and mobos. lol.
I can do either AMD or Intel.

I can review software. It is logistically easy for me, and I can evaluate software such as utilities, media mastering, etc....in case there's a dearth of software reviews or it could add to TechPowerUp!. I can dedicate at least five hours on a weekend for these from Feb. onwards.
