Good day,

I wrote a review of the Asus EAH3870X2 TOP. You can find the review here:

Asus did a nice job on this HD3870X2, with a solid cooler and 4 DVI ports on the card (I believe this is a first.)

Honestly, I was bit underwhelmed by the performance in the benchmarks. While the results were good, they were not as astounding as I was expecting. Having read some other website reviews, I think I'm going to track down another edition of the Cat. drivers and give this card another spin. If the results are much different I'll link to them in the article.

Thanks for reading.

Asus EAH3870X2 TOP Review

Did another batch of testing. The latest drivers that I received did not improve things overall. While some games were a bit faster, some crashed.

The only big difference with my 8.451-2.080123a-858... drivers were that Crysis performance was increased. If you are interested, here are the numbers with these drivers for that game: 64.9,61.8,61.4 [1024x768,1280x1024,1600x1200,no aa] 64.6, 62.6, 61.4 [w/ aa.]



Updated with an overclocking section today...
Hopefully 8.2 will bring out the best in this card, as it really seems like these Vista drivers just aren't cutting it right now.

Um, you can't use DX10 on Crysis unless you set it to "Very High" - "Medium" is just DX9 you twit. nVidia is still copying everything ATI does. HD3870X2, now 9800GTX2. Someone please stop this madness, and start making our money work!
