FedEx just recently dropped off this mystery package the other day, which turns out it was one of our friends at ATI. As the water tight box had an ATI sticker on the outside.

Once the box was opened a shiny new ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics card was found to be inside! Too bad a driver disc wasn't included!

If I were a betting man, I would say next week-ish. At least that's what the internet rumors tell me.

some benchmarks just popped up over in china: http://www.pconline.com.cn/diy/graphics ... 10234.html (WARNING: may and probably will need a translator)

according to the inquirer, it does in fact perform better than the 8800 Ultra:
Paul Taylor from INQ wrote:you can see the 3870X2 pulling ahead of an 8800Ultra, 14573 to 10676 in 3DMark06 – with the “old” drivers, we assume.
Great news for the AMD fanboys like myself :) , here's the INQ link: http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/ ... x2-delayed

edit:ignore the intel cpu in my sig
