news 28 Posted April 23, 2008 We got our hands on the brand new ASUS Radeon HD 3850 X2 1GB card today and decided a quick preview was in order. That's right, this is a dual-GPU card around the HD 3850 speeds, not the HD 3870 and that means a lower price point.

That price tag places the card between the HD 3870 single-GPU cards (some of which have come out with 1GB of memory as well) and the dual-GPU HD 3870 X2s. This is indeed an area that AMD needs to address as they have no other GPU options for gamers in the $250-$350 range. Hopefully we'll see the the HD 3850 X2 1GB models from more vendors causing a price drop closer to $300." Ryan Shrout Owner - PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com Share this post Link to post
