They are Here

[Rich43]

i was going to as well but i thought i`d rather wait for the Sapphire at least you get a game with it.

They all come with a game.

Woohoo my 3850 has arrived, will test tonight after removing the 8600gts...

 

[Damien.]

How do these compare to a 8800 GTX. I mean the clock speeds seem to be so much higher, am i just being nieve ?

 

[The Running Man]

worse than a GTX. Clock speed alone does not define the overall speed of a gfx card, for example, the GTX has more shaders etc, so performs better overall, despite having a slightly lower core speed.

 

[Damien.]

Ah right, thanks. I think im going for a new revision GTS when they come out anyway. Overclocked i think they will hammer crysis on high.

LOL. Not a chance.

My advice pickup something cheap like these or the GT and wait for the 9800.

 

[Damien.]

I have a GTX now, why wouldnt the new revision card handle crysis ?

How does your OC'd GT fair ?

 

[Flying Gribble]

I am about the ask the most irritating question every devised by mankind. Ready? Here we go.

Is it worth getting a 3870 over an 8800 GT?

A one word answer will do.

Depends.....

 

[Damien.]

Depends.....

Thats useful for him.

Depends on what ?

Depends on what you call "hammer" and at what resolution.?

If you talking 1920x1200 not a chance. If you talking 1280x1024 then yes it will run fine but then so would the GT.

Here my Crisis results with my Dual Core

@1680x1080

Min 25

He only asked for one word. Some things that it could depend upon are:

1. How urgently he needs it
2. How much he's prepared to spend
3. Whether he needs UVD because he's got a less powerful CPU
4. Whether an integrated HDMI with sound is important
5. What games he plays
6. What's the balance between gaming and video watching
7. Is noise important
8. Is ~18% increase in performance worth ~18% increase in price
9. Does he like green or red
Edit : 10. Does he have an Antec TPQ 850 / 1000
etc.

Hi there

More HIS just arrived, but only 200pc.

We have Sapphire due today/tomorrow but looking like all the Sapphire have already over sold.
