wow I haven't been to their site in forever, I've always loved their reviews, very thorough. seem the meory on the 3870 is quite the ocer, and impressive 500MHZ boost on stock cooling. hmm I wonder how the card fares on more extreme cooling?

Wow, almost 500mhz OC on the RAM, and the DuoOrb fits and cools it so well. Plus it beat the 8800GT when OC'ed. I want to see what happens with some extra volts.

Slightly biased as it didn't compare overclocked cards against overclocked cards, but at least it showed what the overclock can do.
