ATi's Savior

Strengths: Quieter than 2900xt Performs better overall in games than 2900xt Cooler than 2900xt A bit shorter than 2900xt Excellent Price Uses only 1 6-pin pci-e power

Very well pleased

Strengths: Stability, Easy to install, Performance is great and won't break your budget.

Weakness: None so far

I would purchase this video again without hesitation. The fan is very quiet and the card runs cool all the time. I have it slightly overclocked and it is very stable.

Radeon HD 3870 review

The Radeon HD 3870 features a long list of impressive specifications and an attractive price. But is it a GeForce 8800 GT contender?
