Radeon 3870 compares to GeForce.....?

[TheGreatSatan]

Where does the Radeon 3870 HD 512MB compare to GeForce? 8600-ish....?

Sapphire also makes a Toxic version. What's the difference?

[TheGreatSatan]

Nevermind, I bought the Sapphire Radeon 3870 HD 1GB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102761)

I dislike those guys and rebate-zone.com, which randomly denies between 25% and 50% of the rebates. Anyways, I think you did well; that card has 1GB of memory.

That is probably better than the 8800GTS 640MB (older platform) card I have too.
