3850?

Post by maj0r_pawnage »

would it be worth it to sell off my 8800gts for like 250 and put $100 on top of it and grab two 3850s? or should i just wait for 3870x2 and buy one of those instead, which im sure will cost more...

well for one your not gonna get 250 for your GTS because you can get a GT for that price new and that will beat the GTS in most benches. And 9-16 extra FPS over the 3500 crossfire, and less for the GT, not worth it

isnt the 3870x2 the first card to actually have two cores on one pcb? all the other dual cards have been two cards smashed together with a conector bridge attached
