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

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.

Sapphire's card looks to be pretty good value compared to the competition. Once you add in the good overclocking headroom, the deal almost seems too good to be true. Thankfully it's not and, if you can find the product in stock, I wholeheartedly recommend

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.
