Radeon 3870X2 To Scale Up To 300+ Percent

[NoPeace]

With four chips in 3DM06


Last week AMD confirmed that in some applications such as 3Dmark06 you can get even more than a 300 percent performance boost over a single card with its HD3870 X2.

This won

I'll rather have a good card for games then a "show off" one for tests.

Same here, but still. With a 3x scaling in some games it's much better scaling then nVidia's SLI.

True But why can't they make a card which scales good in ALL games then?

My bro just bought oen of the top ATI cards for his computer, only cost him a couple hundred.. srt of makes me jealous. but ATI has a long way to go sincce its just starting into its DX10 'heavy hitter' type cards, expect them to become popular another 1 or 2 months down the road when more fficient drivers get released

You a missing the point. It's not scaling for games it scaling of the performance by adding more chips to the setup.

Which they are doing an amazing job at. And their next generation of cards will all the be same chip. Just the number of them will be the difference.

I doubt they will get more popular. Why? 8800GT 256mb comes out in the price range and it's a faster card.

That's going to hurt the AMD sells this winter but still they will do good. Especially for the high end market. Why wouldn't want to get 4-8 GPU setup for the price of a SLI GTX setup?

It will be faster and the same price.

Not to mention a bigger bragging right. :icon6:
