V Good.

Thanks for that.

Hows the noise compared with the 3870X2?

uvarvu · 13 Aug 2008 at 21:47

I made the exact same move. I find the noise is the same really, the cards look identical pretty much!

gurusan · 13 Aug 2008 at 21:48

very nice.

looks to be about twice as fast

Gerard · 13 Aug 2008 at 21:54

noise wise its about the same as the 3870x2.

The Asgard · 13 Aug 2008 at 22:08

Cheers for the noise update.

I thought the cooler looked the same. I personally didn't find it too bad on my 3870X2

Great benchmarks, the fan can't be as loud as my old Sapphire X1950XT

Coolers slightly different, 2 copper heatsinks in it instead of one copper one aluminium. Cards also a good bit heavier.

Could be the angle of the camera!
