3870x2 512MB

[pompeyboy]

I cant seem to find any reviews of the ATI 3870 X2 512mb card, i only see benches etc for the 1gb card. Any one know where i could find some?

I didnt know the X2 came in the 512MB flavour, and that it is says 1GB, but that is shared 512MB per core.

Correct if wrong though

There are some 512mb x2 cards out there around £150, im tempted but want to see some reviews compared to the 1gb version,quad for £300 is a little tempting

As the guy above said, theyre all 1GB cards (512MB x2) as far as i know.

Really? You dont mean the Sapphire one that looks to be a misprint for a Toxic 3870 (as thats what the product code is, even though it states 3870x2).

whats the point in quad 256 gpu's when u could have dual 512 gpu's for less money on a single card?

doesnt really make sense to me

hmm 256mb? 2x 2hd3870x2+1gig lol still dont add up

 

[havoc08]

just googled it theres a hd 3870 512mb but no sign of a hd3870x2 512mb

hmm 256mb? 2x 2hd3870x2+1gig lol still dont add up

well if the 3870x2 512 has 2 gpus they must be 256mb each, so there are 2x3870 256gpu cores on a single card..

you may aswell go with the 3870x2 1gb with 2x3720 512gpus on a single card as its more performance and best bang for buck i think with the option of quad crossfire

Google: 3870 x2 512mb and you'll find some

 

[havoc08]

youll find its 512mb x2 each card

i cant link to it but there is a 3870 X2 with a total meory size of 512mb so 256 per GPU. its £160~ so it CANT be the 1GB version.

There is no 512mb X2, check the ATI roadmap. The one on google is a mis-labelled Toxic Sapphire 3870.

As said in my above post, you're referring to a mislabeled card.

 

[havoc08]

ok ive just searched for a hd3870x2 total mb 512 carnt find one but hey wont be able to find winning lotto numbers for tonight.

 

[spicypixel]

Its true they dont exist, and it doesnt make any sense to tie that to a 3870, 256x2 mb of GDDR3 might work on a '3850X2' prices @ £150 but then again this X2 series is top end.

 

[StevenG]

this goes for £160 on the site i found it on.

if it doesnt exist then im sorry but it seems its for sale.

[spicypixel]

Well, that there is some obscure ****. Interesting find. back to research I guess...

 

[spicypixel]

After googling 11122-09-50R I found it it indeed a misprint of the website.
