3870x2 running cod4

Any ideas if we can run a master and a slave with this ? Do you need true 2x 16 PCIE ?

If you could get it for £200 i'd say it's an amazing bargain, but you know that ain't gonna happen. They are gonna pitch it at gtx price which is what... about £250-£300 nowadays? (hopefully not ultra price *shock*

My only concern really is around o/c'ing and whether you'll be able to clock both cores ok? ... and if ati tool will be able to independently clock each core, with independent voltage per core. Hopefully the dev will actually be a bit more prompt and add in voltage control for the 3800 series stuff at all.

There is no more master/slave setup. They are effectively all master cards

So these cards will be faster than a GTX even with a decent amount of AA applied?

Possibly, we'll have to wait and see. Might snag one to match it against my ultra, hellloo memories of the 2900xt launch

Wish gibbo could chime in and mention availability for launch, its not to far off so ocuk must have some idea of what theyre getting alocated by now.

the AA on them is like with the 2900 cards, performance will drop a lot from enabling AA

They had AA running in that video at 2560x1600. Now that's good. I doubt it will drop a lot in performance when running AA.

I'm hoping to buy the 3870X2 before selling my 8800GT so I can do some propor comparisons so I can see for myself if this is better performing.

Actually length wise it would, only thing that would stop it would be the cooler clashing with the drive bay id assume.

Any one noticed that the heatsink on the left seems to be bigger than the one on the right? :confused:

With ease. I could get my Ford Focus in this case.

I know, and it's only about 2cm longer than a 2900, which is already pretty much level with the edge of my P5K-D :confused:

THe cooler does make it look massive tho will!

lol

Anyways my fear is its gonna drown out an airport it will be that loud!

Looks too much like the 2900series cooler not to be annoying! Plus its gotta push that air across 2 heatsinks...... :eek:
