  • is this guy doing speed...? he's speaking at like 20 words a second lol

  • 320 stream lololololol

  • Watching this in 2011. Apparently 777Mhz was once considered fast for a GPU.

  • Is the shapire hd 3870 graphic card more powerfull than my shappire hd 4850 ?

  • @exoticg9 i don't think so.....

  • @GarretJordan Rite.Tanks

  • I upgraded to this card from an 8600GT!

  • WOW. I love watching old tech haha

  • 4850 and 5850 best cards imo

  • @aaaaaaaaaa426 6850?

  • can this thing be hybrid crossfired

  • @EdwinXVS yes, but this depends on your motherboard.

  • @Gekmdal Will it work with this motherboard: Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H

  • LOL HD3850 looks the same as my HD4850

  • bring back Logan

  • @masterd151 They did

  • which HD3850 AGP version is the best? The older ones had DDR3 with 1656MHz , the newer ones have only 1400MHz on DDR3...but I heard the newer cards are running smoother

  • get the HIS ATI 3850 ICEQ verison or the 3870

  • How much power do i need for the HD

    3850???

  • 400 watt

  • thx for the reply!

  • 100000 watts!

  • its not worth it

  • @crissglitch666

    whats not wort it?

    Buying it?

    Your a little too late. Ow its a good card.

  • Lol I figured.

  • It WAS a good card 3 years ago, this video is from 2007 :D

  • i have ati radeon 3850

  • what are the dimensions

  • what do you mean with dimensions?

  • @DJVelectri the length width and height please :)

  • I will be more than happy to swap out my ATI RADEON HD 4350 for this card :D

  • i have the 3850 and not to imprest cus on my mac i have the nvidea 9500 gt 512 mb and the brigtnes on the screen it looks more better brightnes but the ati 3850 looks dark and the colers look bad what wrong

  • AmH032uTuBe depends on the apps ! dont worry soon all the top end games will be utlizing 3 cores and up 1! case closed ! q6700 @3.912ghz ,8 gigs of viper 2x 250gig seagates 16mg buffer in raid0 with 2x4870s visiontechs in crossfie with MSI P45 platinum

  • Well I've got Crysis Now and Warhead, and Wars, got the Maximum package, and oh is there a way to load up/run Crysis without having the disc in

    Wars and Warhead don't need the disks, all patched to the latest patches.

  • HD3870

  • VisionTek ATI Radeon HD3870 OC 512mb ... or Nvidia 9800GT 512mb?

  • i like ati better but 9800gt is as good as the 4850 so wayy better than 3870

  • THE 9800GT is not as good as the 4850, the 9800gtx competes with the 4850. The 9800gt is only about 5%faster than the 3870, but the 3870 can be overclocked to rival the 8800gtx.

  • "freaktube4" 9800gt aint even close to 4850 dude! the 4830 is what you meant because they compete with eachother 4830 and 9800gt.

  • typing mistake i was meant to write 4830

  • wtf when they said its the best with power they showed the temperatures - almost no relevance because fan speeds vary as well as heat sinks

  • Making the 3870 faster in more than half the games...

  • but still a budget card beat a mid-high end card, i think that pretty amazong

  • ATI POWAAA

  • I have palit hd 3850 and i play cod 5 with high:)

  • thats good, but I've got a 2600XT and I play COD 4 with all maximum settings, Max AA, max AF, max texture quality, all extras, like glow, corpses, max refresh rate, sync every frame etc...

    and I get great framerates...

    that was when I had a Celeron D (356 OC'd to 3.75GHz)

    but I've upgraded to my Core 2 Quad, but not much better strangely, I think it only uses 2 of the cores... :(

  • alright, but what about Call Of Duty 4 Running on that 3850?.... expecting replays, thanks

  • I play on a single 3870 by sapphire all maxed out and get about 80fps average

  • Never had a problem with COD4 on my 3850(256 mb).

    I play 1440x900 at max settings and can get 90-110 fps depending if I use the ATI software that lets you overclock the card. I don't even need that many fps since my monitor is only has a refresh rate of 60hrz.

    Pound for pound, the 3800's were better than the 8800's. Cheaper, less power, less heat, less noise, and the thing performed. The added bonus for me was that the 3850 was a single slot.

  • Ty but i've bought the Radeon HD 4670.....

    Reason, 3870 was sold out..... beside i didn't think i could find it again, n cod4 on maxed out n highest res for my screen i get normal 80/190 fps

  • would u say this is better then the hd 4670?? \(for games)

  • 3850 4670 3870 the 3870 is stronger than 4670 which is stronger or equal as 3850

  • why are you going to talk to "randy" in the middle of the video

  • buy a xbox360

  • xbox 360 gpu = nvidia 7900 gt weaker than this card

  • damn right but it is too expensive

  • no this card cost ati hd 3850 512mb for 60 bucks (usd) and a ati hd 512mb for 85 bucks (usd)

  • jesus.. for that reason i wanna live in usa..in my country its about ..hell like 800 usd

  • xbox 360's gpu is made by ati first of all and it gets 60fps with gta4 which is maxed out and fit to ur screen with dx9 and neither of these cards would get 60fps maxed out for gta4 so shut up.

  • first of all i mean the gpu power is equivalent to nvidia 7900 gt and the reason it gets 60 fps is because the game devoper just compress the game far more then the pc version making easier for the xbox to play gta 4 and pc version of gta 4's gpu spec is 8800gt nothing to xbox's gpu but can barely play gta 4

  • let me expand on what you said.

    Games will always run fine on consoles. This is because the game is designed for the exact same hardware. In PC they have to adapt the game to work with all and any times of hardware.

  • Even further

    When games are ported from commercial gaming systems to PC platforms, the coders have to attempt to optimize the code to run well on hundreds of different hardware setups - thousands even.

    I own GTA IV for PC and they added so many more graphical improvements to it than the 360. The 360 couldn't play the PC version - not the other way around. When I set my 8800gt / 8gb ram/ AMD X2 5400+ to the settings for the xbox version, it cruises, but it can look much better on PC.

  • you are a mexican right?

  • venezuelan

  • SukhoiSu37Terminator please suck my balls you retarded loser

  • you have a problem

  • its ok

  • AA is anti-aliasing. You should play at low-medium. If you get 28+ frames on High then play on high.

  • dude you don't know shit about the HD 3870 you can run crysis on high GFX on 1280x1024 with 30+ fps (depending on rest of the specs of your pc)

  • Who the fuck gives a shit? It's old...The 4870 smashes this card by a lot..

  • yea thats why i have the HD 4850 :D

  • Comment removed

  • your face is old and saggy just like your moms belly and tits

  • i have a question. right now i have a gigabyte radeon hd3870 and i tought of getting another one. should i do a crossfire or should i get the 4870? i play my games at 1280X1024 max rezolution. what should i do?

    pls reply

  • get new one and give me old one!

  • i have both cards 3870 in cross fire and another pc i built for my nephew with the same specs ,cpu ,mobo ,ram,extra .BUT with one 4870 and mine runs the main stream games much smoother! oh both monitors are also the same T240 samsungs at 1920x1200

  • Low-Medium settings without AA depending on resolution.

  • i have window xp directx 10..true

  • will the 3870 work with a 680 watt powork power supply?

  • oooh yeah

  • can you crossfire a 3850 and a 3870 in a system?

  • yes in CrossfireX, i don't recommend though, just pick up 2 3870s (they sell for $100 on newegg) now.

  • ok, well the 3870 is only $89.00 (the GDDR4 ver!)

  • could i use this in a i mac computer or do i have to buy a specail card formatted for the i mac?

  • Two things, probably ur processor isn't that great. HL2 uses multicore cpu's to work faster. Anothe thing is your mobo could not be PCI 2.0 x16, slowing down ur gpu's. and maybe ur mobo doesn't support crossfire.

  • the ati 3850 in crossfire it works with a 650w psu??????

  • I think you can run 4 with a 650 watt

  • In crossfire?You mean Sli lol problably you dont know anything about them lol anyways I just Received My 2 other ati radeon 4870x2 And I added it to my crossfire system so now its 4870x8 so yea pretty awesome Anyways ATi is better for me thats My opinion seriously the only reason why ati has sauch bad reputation is because of the drivers and the overheating but they changed the drivers and its good. Also I have super water cooling combined with other cooling materials so its all good for me.

  • Nvidia cards are not in crossfire they are in SLI :-)

  • Dumbass lol look aat the the other comment the guy left you with my same 4870x2 it got more benchmarks and I never knew that. Ad I didnt even spend alot haahahah guess who is the dumbass now right back at you.

  • your gtx985 can lick the glory of my 4870 X2 in crossfire which got higher bench scores than the gtx 985 in sli at a expo where i embarrassed gtx dorks with their nvidia sli builds. lol and i saved 600$ more than them lol.

  • lol my 4850 owns both of em lol

  • and my hd4870 owns your card ;P

  • my two 4870x2 in crossfire will burn all combine

  • kuek lol

  • LOL @ ati people. lol rofl

  • hey yo i have a graphic card is th ati radeon 3850 HD i have proccesor 2.21 GHz and 2 GB ram and service pack 3 the GTA 4 can play ???

  • Lol, "and service pack 3". It depends on whether your "processor" is a singe, dual or quad, AMD or Intel etc. But according to VGRequirements QUAD cores are the safest route.

  • someone can tell me what video card AGP is the best in this moment?

  • Lol this card, but in the agp version. Just search: 3850 512mb AGP.

  • lol ok thanks and with this video card i can play games how call of duty 4, gears of war ??

  • Yeah you should be fine, but it also depends on your ram and Cpu

  • ok my ram and cpu is fine just my videocard sucks lol

  • show as every thing that comes in the box!

  • thanks yall

  • i just got this today, its pretty good!!

  • Can someone tell me if my dell xps 420 can run 2 of these?

    it already comess with one of them

  • TFKofBD

    If you will put this cards (4850+3850)

    in Crossfire, only 320 stream processors on each card will work...=(((

  • hey..can i make crossfire with HD 4670 + HD 3870..??

  • no. you have to use the same exact cards in order to run crossfire.

  • No, you can run a 3870+3850 in crossfire but but but, the 3870 will work as a 3850.

  • actually...you have to run cars of the same SERIES...example the 4670 is the 4600 series and the 3870 is the 3800 series...u cannot run crossfire with this as far as i know but a 4650 with a 4670 or a 3850 with a 3870 will work just fine

  • thnx for the info man..

  • gecube 3870X Turbo III DDR4 over clocking limited edition,cheap,power, more power when make crossfire..nice...

  • ummm can ya crossfire a 4850 with a 3870?

  • i believe so. crossfirex

  • SOLD ME just ordered 2 MUAHAHHAHAHA

  • can anybody reccomend me a goon pci video card that runs crysis on high with a decent framerate

  • should i get an ati radeon 3870 or a nvidia geforce 9500. im ordering a computer so which is better.

  • Take the 3870

  • thanks

  • better u get 500 watts..

  • logan rocks

  • Check out my hd3870 fan test, it's an awesome card for this money!

  • i thought nvidia was the best but i can get the 3870 for $160 the 8800gtx is $200 and the 3870 has more power so deal

  • The difference between 3850 3870 is

    3850 core clock speed = 670MHz

    3870 coreclock speed = 775MHz

    3850 memory clock speed = 1.66GHz

    3870 memory clock speed = 2.25GHz

    3850 math processing rate(multiply-add) = 428 GigaFLOPS

    3870 math processing rate(multiply-add0 = 487 GigaFLOPS. either way u cant go wrong with both of these GPU hope this helped...

  • does this fit in agp slots?

  • there is an AGP version of the 3850 but not the 3870.

  • no but there is a HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 Turbo Video Card. This is a Overclocked 3850 and its really not bad! its got the same power like the 3870

  • AGP!?!?!?!? HA HA HA grow up you ass hole!!

  • i got this graphic card and its Great!

  • why do ppl put more than 1 video card in there computer??

  • If they SLI it or Crossfire them, then its the double the power of just one card.

  • can i crossfire a sapphire 3870 with a powercolour on the P5E mobo?

  • How Long is the HIS Radeon HD 3850 AGP to me i looks 12in i need to make sure it fits in my comp

  • ATI HIS 3850 beats the shit out of 8800 gt.... lov3 ATI for3v3r <3<3

  • 3850 beat an 8800gt serious?

  • yes...defenetly

  • sure:P

  • had a 3850 2 months ago and i played crysis at high setting with 45fps.....

  • The AGP version of the 3850 did this???

    holy shit..

  • no...

  • on my copmuter this card runs 18 fps

    on crysis with everything on very high

    x8 antialysing

    at 1024x768

    so its a very good card

  • on mine it runs like 40

  • Just bought the HD3870, just waiting for delivery, gonna be awesome!

  • I bought it on sunday,I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON IT!it IS going to be AWESOME!! =D Crysis here i come xD.

  • Just got my card, and daaaamn! Tis awesome.

    COD4 on Max Graphics = 93fps for me.

    Crysis Max Graphics = 58fps.

    w00t

  • What? Crysis @ Max = 58fps???

    You put 3 HD3870 on your PC?

    Even with 2 = 40+fps

  • I honestly dont know xD I had 58fps at one point, now it usually averaging at around 40

  • Can anyone tell me the difference between the Visiontek Radeon HD 3870, and the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870. I've checked the specs on them both and they look identical. In fact other than the color I can't see anything different between them, other than the Visiontek one costs about $100 more. ??

  • Maybe they have some additional things inside the box.

  • hwo could the games (CoD4, Crysis, Assasins creed, and the other cool games)run on this: Asus P5K, Intel c2d e8400 3Ghz, Ati HD3870 512Mb, 2x1 Gb Ram 1066Mhz csx? im going to run the games with only 1024x768 resolution (cuz my monitor fucks up the screen if i use better resolution, it doesnt fill out the screen or soemthing lol^^) and of course max textures...

  • pls pls answer fast :))

  • Crysis @ Max Setting = 19+fps.

    COD4 = Pretty good

    Assassin Creed = Pretty good

  • cool ty

  • Damn, that card is smalll

  • I have hd3850 gddr4

  • what game was on the background??????????????

  • can a PCI 2.0 card run in a 1.0 motherboard?

  • yea

  • LOGAN ROCKS!!!

  • I love ATi. I have it in my Dell XPS 420 runs brill.
