3870 or 8800GT

[Avatar261]

I have a 3870 which i bought when my 2900XT died. I sent the dead 2900XT back via RMA and they are sending me a Leadtek 512MB 8800GT as a replacement.

I game at 1920x1200

Which card would people use?

i'd say that is a bloody good deal!

Most people are using the 8800GT for mid res, for you resolution a 8800GT (the new G92 512MB version) is the sweet spot for your res

The 8800 GT is the better card.

Yeah the 8800GT and ive had both cads at some point.

No doubt 8800GT is better, regardless of resolution.

Depends what you are using it for, if you are thinking crossfire or sli in the long run and require multi monitor support I would go with the 3870, if on the other hand you arn't thinking along them lines then you can't argue that the 512mb gt is the better card.

the 8800GT.

though the 3870 at 880/1125+ in my own experience is exactly the same thing

sell one of the cards and get another one the same as the one you keep...

that is if ** motherboard can support sli or crossfire.

if not, 8800GT is better.

the 8800gt is better from what ive heard though that doesnt mean the 3870 is a bad card.

i would sell both though in your position and get a 8800gts 512mb as it might give you the extra bit of power you need (or maybe a gtx).

8800GT.

im using 8800GT (in my sig) at 1920*1200 and its good for some games on MAX settings, ie BF2/BF2-PR COD4, supcom + supcomFA some games you gotta turn down the settings a bit and for games with lots of units ie sup com and RTR if you have lots and lots of units it laggs, but overall its better than the ati equal
