| ATI Radeon HD 3870 & 3850: A Return to Competition While the Radeon HD 3870 isn't faster than the GeForce 8800 GT, if AMD can hit its price point, it is a viable alternative if you're looking to save money. AMD is in a lot of trouble however if the 8800 GT pricing/availability problem does get worked out; the 8800 GT does offer better performance-per-watt and better performance in general. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3151

| But the 8800 GT 512Mb doesn't cost $250, it costs €229 http://www.dollarshops.eu/product_in...oducts_id/1064 HD3870 has to go lower than €199 to make up for the performance drop

| it's not because of the $<>€, otherwise PS3 would not cost €600+ here, but €400. You'll see same pricing for HD3870, probably €220

I rather like how they summarized the results. "3870: % of GeForce 8800 GT Performance" Which was mostly 80-95% of the 8800GT. ATI appears to have taken a bad apple (R600) and make an almost sweet apple pie with it. Anandtech's results seem to be better than Legion's, where the 2900XT was somehow outperforming the 3870. | |||

| I guess this would explain why Legion's results differed so much. Techspot and LegionHardware 3870/8800GT reviews are frauds |
