TigerTV - Radeon HD3870 And HD3850

[krullexneo]

This was the first graphics card i bought XD

[IBlueNinjaI]

I loved tiger direct, now albert is there its fine enough but i liked better logan and the pc hardware is low.. allmost only cameras, and other fuck it xD

[keeler1160]

Are his video reviews on the net anywhere? I like them better and I like the theme of the video.

[2fast4all]

I have the same card.

[IBlueNinjaI]

@2fast4all Great for you that was a good card 3 years ago :) but still its fine heh..

[fickie321]

Tigerdirecttv was only cool because of King Logan

[lord2of2the2cards2]

half-life 2 episode two is their example??? i can play that 10-30 fps with a geforce fx 5200 128mb.

[GogiRB]

i play Team Fortress 2 in which uses Source Engine as HL2, i'v got NVIDIA FX AGP 128MB and i'v got 60 70 fps

th procesor does it all xD

[nelizmastr]

ur processor is the problem dude, the FX series is the best when it comes to source games (at the time' they kicked the asses of the Radeon 9500,9600, and 9800pro cards.

[gundorlt]

Actually it was the other way arround. Do some research on why.

Had a 9600 myself and had an opportunity to compare it to FX5500. 9600 was better. It was only when the 6xxx series came out from nVidia that they started to crush ATI. Untill the HD38xx came out.

[nelizmastr]

strange.

and not particulary HD3800 series. the HD2xxx series were already a lot better. also the rest of the HD3000 series. not just the high end 38xx

[2007FORLife]

They're PCI-E -.-

[GoreTorn16]

I have a 3870X2. Must....get.....Crossfire.... X_X

[videosify]

is this good for games 1024 MB ATI Radeon HD3850

[mohsen1374]

is the 256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3650 the same as this?

[FriendlySniper]

Nope.

[Obscht]

I need to get one of these!!!

[jaesungauzakim]

I just got GIGABYTE ATi Radeon HD3870 with ZALMAN Heatsink :D this is a great card. lol

[afterburn13]

wich one is better hd3870, hd 4830 oc'd or the 8800gt?

[gschreiber94]

you are a n00b....... i laugh at you

[tippy2424]

I run crossfire on this card 1366x768+ Q 6600 on a 32" when playing codwaw, fsx maxed out no trouble.

Good little card to have maybe better than the gtx because it's cheeper. some people will say, well way out dated. well it works good that's what matters.

[pimpstenator]

only medium? lol

[shewasahooa]

The HD 3870 is a top class card with amazing power! the 3850 is also good but not as good.

[monimstarfox]

this card is going to turn me into an ati lover

[Cri354]

For what Mother board is this card?

[krullexneo]

It works with all Motherboards, if you have atleast 1 PCI-E slot and a 500+W PSU, then it will work.

[krullexneo]

Just got my 3870 today tested it WOW its amazing compared to my 8800 atleast 30-50 fps better on ALL games exept crysis it only gets 22 fps better

[aaaddd56]

8800 is better

[raonipaes]

turn on the ATI overdrive...and you'll get sme performnce, even better with new drivers.

That's not bullshit

[AtlantiXYL]

what about your other hardware like CPU and RAM? tell me how fast they are. when you do this test with HD3870

[krullexneo]

I have a E6600 2.8ghz, And 3GBs of DDR2 677mhz Crucial Ram.

[krullexneo]

I have a HD 3850, and i can play cod4 and crysis maxed....

[vangstaz]

I got tons of questions for this card:

What Ratings will it get for Vista?

Is it better than the nVidia 8800?

How much does it cost?

Plzz reply!!!

[FriendlySniper]

The 8800gt is better. This card is fairly cheap now (around US$140)but I'd recommend the 8800gt over this, it's only a couple bucks more.

[vangstaz]

Thanks a lot! I just need a good card, that's all.

[thereddog223]

they dont even sell this gpu anymore.

[mitnavnerchristian]

I don't know what rating it will get

In some games it is, but its a pretty good card

In my country (Denmark) it cost about $180!

Hope you could use this! ;)

[yanoosz]

Is it just me or this guys is not funny? Still he says useful information.

[johnjn14]

logan rules

[bennji2541]

hey, just wondering if ATI radeon is only for AMD or for anyother motherboard with pci

[ryuuichi001]

Yep, works with any motherboard with pci-e.

[msterlala]

hi, i got a pc of ebay with random parts stuck in it, its got a e4500intel, hd3870, 2gig ram ddr3 and a gigabyte mother, what can i do 2 improve it as i get under 20fps on crysis :(

[FriendlySniper]

Hi. Are you running it on high/very high settings? If possible, try OC-ing your CPU to at least 2.8Ghz. Or if you don't want to do that try putting some settings on medium, like shaders.

[msterlala]

hello, im running it on hight with no aa but when i run it on medium with x2 aa it lags and how would i oc my processor?

thank you

[Ethan314159]

just goes to show that ati is still a generation behind nvidia, they cant even compare to the 9800 gtx or 9800 gx2. since amd bought ati both have been going down the toilet.... even though my cpu is amd lol

[Acerfan2010]

your forgetting Ati is coming out w/ the 4000 series lol, so Ati in my opinion is well ahead.

[Ethan314159]

yeah i guess youve never heard of the gtx280 and gtx260 which was released a couple days ago, look up the benchmarks with that and 4870 ati gets slaughtered again. and the 4870 and 4850 are ati's counters to the nvidia 9xxx series. thats why nvidia is a generation ahead.

[Acerfan2010]

Guess that depends if your willing to pay a few extra hundreds basically, But I myself Im gonna have to roll with the price at times like these.

[SimonLANO]

yea.. Hope these can run Farcry2 (probably a awesome game)... Ive got two of these in crossfire Overclocked, Intel Q6660 2.4 Ghz overclocket to 3.51 and 4 GiG ram.

[ASAFYY]

people dont buy a new video card, becouse all the new pc games that there are right now are boring!!!

[28082989]

you're hell RIGHT!! the games are so boring now... why? :cry:

[40172]

I would hate to receive the cards he has handled. He apparently has never taken a clasee on ESD..electrostatic discharge. Can ruin electronics in the blink of an eye!

[kohan69]

no one uses an ESD-strap.

grounding yourself does the job jsut fine

don't be an ass

[connor8001]

you just have to touch something metal then you're good right?

[lilletizz]

The Ground pin in a power outlet is the best :)

[GCVos]

I don't even ground myself. Never had any trouble. (Installing CPU's, graphcards, memory, all kinda stuff.)

[HenrikAH92]

Ive got a sapphire hd3870 wich works fine but theres no way you can play games with the ram clocked to 2700mhz, tried 2600mhz and it works fine in 3dmark06 but oblivion craches after just a few seconds. No problem clocking the gpu to 860mhz thou, got 10500 3dmark in 06 at 1680-1050 and 11500 at 1440-900 with a phenom 9500 oced to 2,56ghz and gpu on 860mhz. And btw ATi is still weak in AA but works great with AF and higher resolution.

[Gustis666]

lol i ordered the HD 3870 ICEQ 3 'turbo' version , its 850 stock u can go 900 + if u want..

[HenrikAH92]

yeah but it doesnt use stock cooling -.-

[HenrikAH92]

yeah but thats an oc edition and thats not the card on the video

[kohan69]

vmod it

[spunkeez]

rofl, logan is such an ATI fanboy

[X0Acco0X]

should i Buy this card or the 8800gt?

[hellraise21]

i bought the 8600GT 512MB GDDR3 from ebay for like $79 total and it works wonders. Logan even said 2 8600GT's will over power the 8800GT

[UndyingGhost]

Buy 8800GT but HD 3870 is exelent card too for much less money :)

[Tecato22]

You should buy HD3870 X2. HD3870 is also good like 8800GT OC

[spunkeez]

wait for the 9800gx2 or gtx to come out, altimate pwnage over these weakass cards

[connor8001]

Yeah but you forgot about the R770's coming out in June Which will pwn the 9800's to the moon.

[EasyQuest]

now you can get it its out now

[rcman22]

5:33 - GTX in Crossfire? hehe...

[Maximus1337cs]

every nice looking card. i alwasy like ATi cards exp then 2900xt

[geftargnabl]

the 8800gt is only 200$ and this card is like 300!

[Hannes9211]

this card is faster than the 8800GT

[diyarspor]

Best Perfect Graphic Card : HD 3870

[Fr3EdOm1]

your stupid, the ultra is still faster, and its not even clear if 4 of these cards can outperform 2x 8800 GTX's.

[Hannes9211]

HD3870x2 beats the 8800Ultra in every test

[Fr3EdOm1]

i was not talking about the x2 dumbass, i was talking about the 3870, not the x2 version. yes, the x2 is the best out now, but wait for the 9800 gtx, and btw, the phenom processors blow.

[Hannes9211]

the phenom processors are the most advanced processors there is at the moment, u can clock each core individually. for example; u can hace 1 core @ 2.6GHz, 2 cores can be @ 3,0GHz, and the last one @ 2.4 GHz. thats a really smart way to save some power, and none of the Intel cpu:s can clock the cores individually..

[HenrikAH92]

are you sure? ive got a phenom 9500 and ive oced all the cores to 2.56ghz wich works great but if you truly can clock the cores induvidually could you show me a guide or something that shows how to do this?

[sircrashalot]

actually the 9800 are 30% stronger then the 8800gtx... it a failed card allready... sorry dude dont cry!

[sircrashalot]

actually the 9800 are 30% stronger then the 8800gtx... it a failed card allready... sorry dude dont cry!

[yjin25]

not with HD3870x2!!!! it smoke every other cards!!

[yjin25]

wait for HD3870 X2 ICEQ3 out!

[sk827015]

bahh

[TonyMontanasSon]

dam he's either lost or put on weight

[kx85rider]

This dude is so funny nice review

Im goingo to buy the hd3870 from asus

[theMTBgroup]

POWER!!!!!!

[Point432]

Someone needs to use FSX as a benchmark. It is a really taxing game! I have just one 8800GT and it will run 30FPS w/ all the settings at medium in the middle of small cities...FSX all settings at max, autogen at max and in New York. This might be a great card, but it wasn't out last summer when I bought my 8800. Hopefully reliablity is good, b/c I have been burned by a 9800 Pro.

[FatMancubus]

I agree with you...

[dragonheart1992]

I like the Hd3850 and Hd3870. In crossfire they are faster than 2 8800 ultras in Sli, for less money!

[surenintendo]

thumbs to amd for making a cost effective card.

[bkjoelover]

ill wait until the 3870 falls under the 100 price range.

[wiiliketofly]

The HD3850 will hardly fall under $150 let alone the HD3870

[wolfman2142]

hey i found a cheap place in perth called net plus that selling the sapphire HD3870 for $278 AU

[abcdefghijklmnudii]

how many fps get this card at cod4

at 1024x768

and all high

do any one know this?

[Sinyaow]

I play it @ 1600x1200 with 4xaa 16xaf & get ova 100fps..

[Lowerthefever]

I love videos like this. If only I had a faster connection. 512/128 just isn't fast enough.

[ItsjustagameNUB]

I love the video to :) and i know what you mean, 2 years ago my connection was 128/58 ... really sucked! now its 2048/512, really nice. Not the fastest but its enough for me ;) you should ask your mom or dad to pay some ekstra bucks to get a faster connection,

[stevenb789]

have the hd3870 can run everything on hightest graphs

only crysis gives some probs

[Ma2DaEL]

my rig:

ABIT KN9 SLI(AM2) Mobo

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition

4GB Kingston HyperX Ram

2X ATi HD3870 DDR4 GPC

enough to play crysis on a 22 inch screen... My average FPS with 8xAA and Turned everything to best appearence... it all gows to a 45FPS average on a 1600 x wud i forgot.. really beat 8800 for gud.. huehue

[TheRiccardo]

nvidia is a more expensive because is more expensive brand like intel also you got same power but price si lower on amd´s

[TheRiccardo]

radeons arent so great as they was few years ago.you remember great 9600s pro xt those series were great but 3xxx and 2xxx are unreliable. they arent so fast as gf8xxx series so if you want great feel of gaming much more fps and quality i will recomend only gf series and intel procesors

[JoraleMendoza]

Fucking A people.

8800GT is faster, yes we all know that, but HOW faster? Well not noticeable difference at all. You can just throw in a HD3850 and won't notice a thing while playing games like Bioshock and for the price.......CMON you can't beat it so stop arguing.

[ItsjustagameNUB]

i actually agree with you, i think instead of a 8800gt people should get a HD 3870, cause its a lot more clockable than the gt.

[JoraleMendoza]

I'm still amazed with the CARDS :( I have a 8800GTS :( but it's still good. I just don't get ATI cards, becuase I also use linux and ATI has bad drivers for linux.

[ItsjustagameNUB]

Well, yeah i godt my new 8800GTS this day, so im going for a 8800GTS but if i had to choose between 8800gt and a HD3870 i'd pick a HD3870

[memoktc]

dont buy this card!!!!!it really sucks.read the reviews online.the 8800gt is still faster.

[joshua12345676]

It sucks? It might be slower than the 8800GT, but look at the price! $160 for 3850 and like $275 for the 8800GT. Big difference

[ZeeKat]

Yup, tell us better one in this price if you have to gave us advice.

[ZeeKat]

...and I've read reviews online, many of them, and all say something in line of "OMG 3850 OWNZ GO BUY IT LOL".

[k3sub0ii]

how much do psu watts u need? help me anyone?

[gooeyskydiver5]

650w is good for a crossfire rig with these, so probably 550-600w atleast

[k3sub0ii]

ok but wat about one of em just a single gpu does it require tha much as well or abt the 400w range?

[cranroag]

what is the power consumption of this card? how much amps in the +12v section is needed?

[coffeehunk]

it's going cheaper next year

[touchtone101]

which runs better in sli? 2x 3870 or 2x 8800 gt?

[BorkaBonum]

As 8800GT is faster per-card the GT will perform better, but the margin is reduced during Crossfire/SLi compared to the single-card performance.

[gooeyskydiver5]

no that dude is wrong, Crossfire performs better than SLI which gives the hd3870 the edge, get the Radeons...they are cheaper also

[BorkaBonum]

Crossfire HD3870 won't outperform the SLi 8800GT(S) but the margins between the cards will be significantly reduced as the GT is core-per-core faster by up to 60% during intensive filters. Good thing for all of us is that Nvidia won't be able to push their G90 much faster than the G90 and therefor they will be forced to go Multi-GPU which will render Nvidia significantly more expensive in design while AMD can offer much better Price/Performance.

[armymanhaha]

detailed and well said reply. nerd.

[Thegrumpyjawa]

Just because a person can make detailed statement about something that you're too dumb to understand doesn't make them a nerd.

[armymanhaha]

it was a compliment.

he knows a lot.

you dont know me.

youll die tommorow.

[caiosimp]

Damn! it overclocked goes like nothing ever tested before! up to 800Mhz GPU and almost 3Ghz on GDDR4!! insane.

But i didn't get one thing straight. ATi HD3xxx series are the vgas that will fight against NVIDIA 9 series?

[BorkaBonum]

HD3000-series is the series AMD will continoue building upon, next year AMD will deliver HD3870X2 to focus on the higher-end demands for a reasonable price to compete with the Nvidia 9-series which will be considerably more expensive as the technology used is more expensive to build than what the AMD offerings is due to the smaller chipset design. If the HD3870X2 will deliver 512-bit memory interface there's no doubt it will be a potent compitator to Nvidias GTS-offering in 9-series.

[caiosimp]

ahmm, very nice.

Thank you for replying!

Cheers!

[LAur291]

is 3850 better then 8600gts ??

[daljeet2]

yes, by a long way.

[aek210]

3850>8600gts

[BorkaBonum]

HD3850 will launch with GDDR4 memory Q1 next year, if not before. So clocking will be alot better with that card, while potentially slightly more expensive and more closer to the HD3870.

[Ma2DaEL]

ive got it already... Crossfire'd it... wow... kick's GTX to the ground.. hehe... go get it..

[BorkaBonum]

I'll get a HD3870X2 in Feb next year if it performs as well as it would do on the paper, if not, then I'll grab two HD3870.

[jailhousewhat]

Imma drop the 2900 XT and buy two of those!

[BorkaBonum]

The HD3870 is about only faster in 3dMark06 and World in Conflict compared to the 8800GT at the moment - but we see stressed drivers at the start since AMD wanted to push out the card in time of the too-early release of the 8800GT. But this month we'll see a bunch of a terrific drivers to make up Novembers lacking driver (it was just a big hotfix overall) as a part of ATi:s old tradition to spank out some good drivers right in the middle of christmas.

[m00nr4k3r]

3850 is great priced - and im going to buy it soon
