      As far as I can tell the only advantages it has over a 4850 is a slightly faster core clock and GDDR5 memory, is there anything else? I think I'd rather have the cheaper 4850 :-(.

          I wanted them because of the GDDR5. That and, for example, in CoD 4, there is a 30FPS increase over the 4850's, which is pretty significant when it's one of my most played PC games at the moment :B

              Nirach, once you start getting 100FPS, that extra 30 isn't going to matter much.

              I am confused now, I was going to get another 3870X2 but I may wait until the 4870X2s come out and get 2 of them then.

              And then water cool the fuck out of my PC.

                  That and I can get the 4870's next week >.>

                      No doubt the X2 is going to be just as sweet, but I'm a real fan of having one GPU on one board, rather than two on one, simply for the cooling issues. Not that cooling the X2 is really difficult, but my water loop is already at the boundries of cooling efficiently.

                        I'm also 1-GPU-1-board fan, but a girl xD
                        Even though I don't play that much needing two.
                        Some say they play as much they need two.
                        Me thinks its just a peg to hang on. :angel:
                        Nah, its okay, some need it, companies won't work on them if they are not realizable. *nod*

                                            Not yet, no, but if your AGP slot is 8x then you should be able to pick up a 3850 in AGP format :B
