Product Rating: 3.35 star(s) Sapphire Radeon HD 3870

Comments:
A competent card with older games, but it can't handle the new generation of games.

Review Verdict: Our first test confirmed our doubts: Call of Duty 2 is an old DirectX 9 game and the 3870's average frame rate of 35fps at high detail settings fell far short of the speeds we've come to expect from Nvidia

Comments:
AMD returns to the graphics fold with the ATI Radeon HD 3870. Is it a comeback kid or will ATI be riding off into the sunset.

Review Verdict: This is something of a comeback for the ATI brand. AMD claimed the 3000 series would match the performance of the 2900s but be quieter, cooler and cheaper, and on that score it has achieved its aims admirably. No it isn't as fast as an 8800 GT, but it's p

Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 X2

So why not just get two 3870s and rub a little CrossFire into your box? There are two reasons, really. For most people, that's just not an option. Dual-PCI-Express can easily tag a Benjamin...

Comments:
AMD has taken two mid-range 3870 chips and stuck them together to create the 3870 X2 - a high-end graphics chip with a mid-range price.

Review Verdict: We like the 3870 X2 a lot. It's arguably the fastest card around at the moment, but it lacks the monstrous price tag of the 8800 Ultra. Yes, you could quibble and say that the two 3870 chips is a bit of a fudge, and that two GeForce 8800 GTs in the same c

Sapphire - HD3870

Comments:
at last a decent card for the mainstream

Review Verdict: After the disappointment of the HD2900XT and the lack of a decent mid-range card, AMD is back on track with RV670 core and, with the switch to a 55nm process, it bodes well for future developments. As it is the Sapphire HD3870 is a bit of an eye-opener, o

Sapphire - HD3870 X2

Comments:
fastest graphics card yet from Sapphire

Review Verdict: The HD3870 X2's performance really comes into play when gaming at higher resolutions, where the extra clout of the second GPU comes into play. But if you don't play at resolutions above, say, 1,200 x 1,024, you may feel disappointed by the card's performa

Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 Atomic review

At last, it's happened - In response to the numerous Fatal1ty branded products currently on the market, Sapphire have become the first hardware manufacturer to start selling products endorsed by Blondie.  Wait, you mean that's not what the ...

Review Verdict: It doesn't seem like that long ago that we used to complain about the lack of variation in graphics boards from ATI's AIB partners, back in the days when factory overclocking such parts was all but outlawed, and custom cooling solutions were equally rare.

Comments:
The HD 3870 X2 has proven itself to be quite the beast in some situations. We look at a reference model from Sapphire.

Review Verdict: The out of the box setup on the HD 3870 X2 is pretty good. While the cooler is a little loud, it doesn't come as any real surprise considering what the cooler has to cool. The card is clearly for a niche market with the main target audience being users of

Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 ATOMIC: the best RV670 yet

Comments:
ATI finally launched a competitive mid-range graphics-card line-up with the introduction of the Radeon HD 3800-series back in November '07

Review Verdict: We like the fact that Sapphire has done something special with the Radeon HD 3870 SKU. Rather than simply raise clock frequencies a smidgeon and still keep the dual-slot cooler in place, the ATOMIC's vapour chamber technology-based diminutive single-slot

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Sapphire HD3870 512 MB

Comments:
Sapphire's new HD 3870 card is based on AMD's RV670 GPU which is made in a 55 nm process with 666 million transitors and support for DirectX 10.1 and PCI-Express 2.0. This card that is sold for around $249 is intended to be AMD's new offering for an upper

Review Verdict: While the naming scheme may suggest that the HD 3870 is AMD's new king of the hill, it is not. Certainly the card performs better in some benchmarks than the 2900 XT, but not always. Also a difference of 970 (= 3870-2900) suggests that this is a much fast

Sapphire's new HD 3870 Atomic Edition is a special version of the Radeon HD 3870 with a single slot cooler. This is only possible because Sapphire uses a new cooling technology called Vapor-X cooling that improves cooling performance considerably while ke

Review Verdict: Sapphire's new Vapor-X cooler is doing a pretty good job at keeping the card cool. During our testing we observed similar temperature levels compared to the HD3870 reference design, which uses a dual-slot cooler. Sapphire's card is the only Radeon HD 3870

It seems that a company in AMD's precarious position has to be sensible and concentrate on sales, rather than playing 'my card's faster than yours'...

Review Verdict: Neither of ATI's latest HD 3-series cards have the power to outperform Nvidia's 8800GT, but then again the HD 3850 is priced so competitively that this doesn't matter. However, the HD 3870 is another story entirely. It's priced very closely to the GeForce
