Alla dessa argument om att AMD/ATI lanserar ett kort med "gammal" teknologi och därmed, på något sätt, inte gör sig förtjänta av att vara bättre än Nvidia faller på sin egen dumhet.
"The ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 is, on balance, the fastest graphics-card in our line-up." ...hexus.net
"The fastest card today, once again, carries the AMD signature, after a long domination by NVIDIA." ....tomshardware.com
"Unfortunately I just had a limited time to test this card but as soon as I get an retail HD3870X2 we will run it through a broader set of benchmarks." ...bjorn3d.com
"With the X2 AMD's ATI finally is emerging in the high-end segment again. For example, this product is faster than a GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB and several cases than a 8800 Ultra...//" ...guru3d.com
"GECUBE have done what will probably be the best HD 3870 X2 money can buy! Is it the best video card on the market at the moment? - Well, it’s kind of hard to say. I’m quite a fan of the X2 and with the potential of Crossfire just around the corner the chances are if you’re after some serious power you couldn’t pass on two of these bad boys." ...tweaktown.com
"It has been far too long since AMD/ATI have been at the top of the performance charts; the crown had been lost on both CPU and GPU fronts, but today's Radeon HD 3870 X2 introduction begins to change that. The Radeon HD 3870 X2 is the most elegant single-card, multi-GPU design we've seen to date and the performance is indeed higher than any single-card NVIDIA solution out today. " ...anandtech.com
"AMD has delivered an impressive piece of technology; the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2. While it has some trouble catching up to the performance of the GeForce 8800 GTX, it produces a satisfying gameplay experience." ...hardocp.com
"The Radeon HD 3870 X2 proved to be a strong performer throughout our testing. In most of the games we tested, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 was usually the highest performing single-card in the group. It loses some benchmarks to a dual-card Radeon HD 3870 CrossFire setup, and wins others. The same can be said of the Radeon HD 3870 X2 in comparison to the GeForce 8800 GTX." ...hothardware.com
"The HD3870 X2 can fight toe-to-toe with the best Nvidia currently has to offer and in many cases, it beats everything else hands down. At many points, this card shows its brilliance by outpacing even the mighty 8800GTX by a good 20% but at other times, performance falls short of our expectations." ...hardwarecanucks.com
"AMD was adamant that the HD 3870 X2 was going to be competing for the performance crown against the best that NVIDIA had to offer and it would appear that AMD has done just that. The story isn't as cut and dry as perhaps they would have liked, NVIDIA's 8800 Ultra still wins its share of the benchmarks, but AMD is now closer than they have been in years to having a part on the same level as NVIDIA's best." ...pcper.com
"Overall the HD 3870 X2 shows good potential but the CrossFire implementation in the driver needs to be improved a bit before we can expect massive sales of the card." ...techpowerup.com
"Obviously, AMD has captured the title of "fastest single graphics card" with the Radeon HD 3870 X2." ...techreport.com
