3870s gone?

[Hawky89]

just wondering whether some of the 3870 cards that have disappeared from the OcUK site will be back, i just ordered an Asus 3870 from there and was looking at getting a second for crossfire soon but all of a sudden all Asus cards have gone, X2s as well, anyone know why?

But presumably a sapphire or other brand 3870 would work in crossfire with mine if they have the same clock speeds?

Probably just out of stock, and yes, doesn't have to be the same brand, any can be paired, as long as they are 3870's, but thats changing in March when the CorssfireX driver shows up then, as CrossfireX allows any cards to be paired, so you could pair a 3870 with a 3850 etc...

or a 3870 with a 3870 X2

Cool thanks for your help

Yup that as well, or a 3870 X2 with a 3850, Tri CrossfireX.

cool, better start saving then

3870X2 with a 3870 is still unconfirmed though. Also, unless it's done over the PCI-E bus I can't see it working since the X2 has a different crossfire bridge to a single 3870

oh well, i really only want another 3870 so it doesn't matter, i was just making sure in case OcUK don't get any more ASUS one in.

its not unconfirmed. its true.

also, you can pair 2x3850 and one 3870x2, or any of the cards in a 4 way configuration.
