ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 First Benchmarks
Thanks to Asian website ITOCP, we can get an idea of how fast the first ATI Radeon 3 series dual GPU graphics card will be. Benching on Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 processor at 2.4GHz and 2GB of RAM, the system managed to score 9573 marks (SM2.0: 4494, SM3.0/HDR: 4476) on Futuremark 3D Mark 2006 set to 2560x1600 resolution. The GPU Core/Memory of this card is rated at 770MHz / 2250MHz (2x512MB). Lower resolution benchmark numbers are not mentioned in the original article.

I really hope this is just the tip of the iceberg with these cards - hopefully, some more refinement and tweaking before final release will finally deliver the competitive mid/high end card from ATI we've been lacking since the initial release of the 1950.
I hope, though, that this card doesn't turn out to be another one-hit-wonder.

The HD3850 is a complete ANIMAL especially for a sub $200 card that draws next to no power.... I can play Crysis maxed 1280x1024 no AA, Rv6 Vegas maxed I get like 90fps, over 300fps in CS:S completely maxed..... This card solo eats up my previous Crossfire 1950xt 512mb cards... And its only a 256mb...... Going to buy a 512mb here in a week or two. HD3870x2 would be a monster for sure but..... Seriously... The HD3850 is a stomper for a *midrange priced* card!

ah if its OC'd that could make a diff, i'm just getting pissed at everyone saying 'maxed' when they mean DX9 on high with no AA at 1024x768.
25 FPS *Shudders*

hang on
so this card is two in one, so how much is two normal 3870? if this is going to be around $400-500, can you just get two normal 3870 for around the same price?

People will buy it for the same reason people still buy 8800 Ultras, even though I'm pretty sure a few x-fire'd ATI cards are faster (and quite a bit cheaper) -- they get to have the title of "fastest card."

Considering a TV in non progressive is less... But yes it would be nice to see something more around 50-60 but thats not going to happen with any current equipment.. Especially not with AA.

The extra cost of a Crossfire board is usually offset by the fact that you're able to run two cheaper cards for greater performance than just one super-expensive one.
