3870 hitting $219 and below at newegg and others!
Sapphire 3870 - $219 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102719 Gigabyte 3870 - $209 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125086 Visiontek at Bestbuy - $214 - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1194053242087 This is pretty damn good, but would be even better at $199 to answer recent price cuts on the 8800GT. Good on ya AMD for remaining agressive in the market!!!  C.

Lame, I just bought an HD3850 (512MB, Factory Overclocked, Dual Slot Cooler) for $199 a month ago and now the 3870's are getting near what I paid. Ah well... Are there any differences between the 3850 and 3870 from a hardware standpoint (excluding GDDR4), or are they just clocked differently? Maybe a voltage difference? loloverclockingpotential.

 From everything I have read about the 3870 though, it should blow my x1950pro out of the water.

In the future I will not bring up the other products as it becomes a stupid dumbass debate about this price and that price and on and on. Symantecs. So the heart of this thread is this... It is $219 and below now with a solid price on $214 for visiontek at Bestbuy. Freiggan damn awesome deal IMO. C.

That's the way I look at is the mid-range is offering some great deals for over-all gamers. I've never seen anything like it before. |
