ASUS Radeon HD 3850 X2 1GB Review - Mainstream Dual-GPU Option

[news 28]

ASUS is the first to produce a dual-GPU card based on the HD 3850 from AMD

that finally gives AMD an option in the $300-350 price range. Can it live up

to the competition of the 9800 GTX and how does it compare to the HD 3870

X2?

Quote: "The ASUS Radeon HD 3850 X2 1GB turned out to be a surprisingly

competent graphics card that augments the gaping hole between the HD 3870 X2

and the HD 3870 in the product stack. ASUS is the only card vendor

currently selling this product design and its likely they will remain so as

the life span of the RV670 creeps along. But with the aggressive pricing

ASUS has put on the product (that hopefully becomes MORE aggressive) the

9800 GTX from NVIDIA has a new, and very competent, competitor. If ASUS and

AMD can get the word about this custom ASUS-built Radeon HD 3850 X2 it might

breathe new life into AMD's GPUs this spring."

 

Thanks for a post!
