Im buying a 3870 right now,

Im buying it to run comparison tests on the 9600 and the 3870. I want to find the model that will clock the highest.

Right now, Im thinking either the Sapphire or the MSI OCed edition.

Please chime in, and soon. I want to buy this card today!!!!!

nice, freaksavior just got a 3870 and he could only get his to clock to 837 on the core, I was a little disappointed in that, my old GeCube could do 891.

Wait whats the stock clocks for a 3850? Mine shipped with it at 720mhz so I think its over a 100% OC.
