3870 X2 It owns!

Game Tests and 3DMark again - Playable CRYSIS @ 1600x1200 High Q = ZOMG!

Congrats ATi/AMD You have produced competition! And some fine ass kicking competition at that.

The main question is will Nvidia bring the 9800GX2 and flatten this beast?

And ATi is IMPROVING the drivers for this card. That means, even better frame rates then seen in the reviews.

Sweet. Think about CROSSFIRE'D!

Wait a minute, is that 2 ATI cards vs 1 Geforce? I use ATI and like their cards alot, but if I'm reading that right, that's not much in the way of bragging rights.

EDIT: Nah, I looked at the article and I guess X2 is just part of the name, is that correct?

yes its physically 1 card but it's got 2 gpu's. its a big ol' piece of ****. i do hope it does better and it i can see it being the price of 1 8800 ultra which should help bring down prices on nvidia's next high high end card.

here is a picture

here is a thread purposing how to cool such a card.


i do like that its so massive though, so big you might even need extra supports .

nvidia's answer is the 9800GX2

I thinks its a bit unfair since its really just 2 mid range gpu's put into one card, but i guess since the 9800 X2 is coming out it will all be fair.

I'm not worried because of the fact that card has onboard crossfire, but still, it looks like AMD finally produced something worthy of ATi!

And with ATi having a product finally out that beats NVidia.... it means that NVidia will get better!

[Scotty]

It's not that big actually, it's no longer than a 8800GTX/Ultra.

It maybe unfair it's 2 GPUs vs 1, But knowing AMD the price will be less that the current price of the Ultra. Its been hinted at around $500, so $50ish more than a GTX and 100ish less than an Ultra if true. Therefore it has a right to fight against one card.

[Fuganater]

No worries.... NVIDIA will own it with their new card.

[crenn]

Not always the case.

[noopypoop]

Also it seems this card is running with one gb of ram so....
