Review of the Radeon HD3870X2
Worth getting? Or worth waiting for the 9xxx series nVidias? Or dual-3870s? Although their conclusion is thumbs up, on the whole the performance seemed a bit ups n downs to me. It's easy to say 'but wait for the new drivers!' and 'but nVidia are bastards that make games designed for their cards' but I wonder if its worth the money, in excess of £300 on Scan.
Also, whats with the GDDR3 memory? My card is GDDR4 and it came out ages ago. Is GDDR3 bad or am I missing the point?
