Diamond Viper HD 3870 1GB Video Card Reviewed @ TheTechLounge

Diamond Viper HD 3870 1GB Video Card Reviewed ( -at -) TheTechLounge

 

Quote:

"Under the heatsink is a whole lot of GDDR3, which in itself doesn't

mean much--you can find a pile of budget cards with a gig of RAM, the

extra memory incapable of boosting their meager performance--but the

3870 is plainly able to fill its frame buffer. If it were truly a

budget card, it would come off as sheer marketing; with a high-end

card like this, it really does make a difference. The last great ATI

card was the HD 2900 XT, a spectacular misfire. But despite it's

ridiculous power consumption, sub-par video processing, and tremendous

heat with the blower to match, it still beat out the 512MB HD 3870. I

hoped that this redesigned 3870 would have what it takes to finally

put out the year-old performance despot. And it does, in almost every

way."
