AMD Officially Launches ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2

[zCexVe]

AMD today announced the immediate availability of the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics processor, expanding the visual boundaries of PC entertainment well beyond the 1080P High Definition (HD) threshold. The industry’s first graphics processor to break the Teraflop (one trillion floating point operations per second) barrier, the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 nearly doubles the performance of the award-winning ATI Radeon HD 3870 introduced in November 2007.

P:S: The Only review I got the hands on:HIS Radeon HD 3870X2

Just dont worry.8 pin VGA connector have 5 black(Ground) and 3 yellow(+12V).So its just the same connector.Just get a converter cable.Its not the EPS connector IMHO>

Nice Find....

I do see some things I really like about this card. Should equate to the HD3870 if ATI gets it right with upcoming drivers. It seems they've worked out many issues with AA/AF. Not all the way yet, but it's definitely improving. Especially at higher resolutions. If you notice even at times were the 8800Ultra/GTX beats it in lower resolutions and no AA/AF, bring that resolution up and add in AA/AF and the ATI really shines. Bout time they realized how poor their AA/AF performance has been on the last 2 GPU's (2900 and 3870).

Other than that, positive trends are apparent. Seems newer reviews with better drivers are already helping. Once they get more drivers out, and games start releasing patches designed to take better advantage of this dual GPU setup, things should pan out nicely.
