bought this card for 305.99 after a rebate 3850x2

review. It matches a 9800gtx and appears to just be a underclocked 3870x2 that will overclock to the same speeds as a 3870x2 will overclock to. plus has a great cooler.

the advantage over two 3850 crossfired cards is it has 1 gb of ddr3 and a 512bit interface and is faster, it is a 3870 in everything but name.

Can you show me some in-game benchmarks where it can compare to a 9800GTX. I'm aware that in synthetic benchmarks it's fine- but I cannot see alot of real world performance to back this up. This isn't meant to be a cynical post - I genuinely want to see if this card can perform to standards in real-world games with a MINIMUM framerate not the average.

Sorry can you see my edited post - I didn't clarify my statement.

it's too new no I cannot. Apparently in the reviews, the two I posted ,they mention the 3870x2 and 3850x2 improving greatly because of driver updates and even refer back to a old review when the 3870x2 first came out and was kinda a dog.

Interesting how the "Crysis" benches are showing Call of Juarez.

looking like a posting error since it was not titles crysis and hes says it is slower than a 9800gtx x2 in the crysis bench
