Word In Conflict
With cards like these, you’re inevitably limited by the processor when filters are disabled, the answer is enabling them. Enabling antialiasing allows us to not be stuck anymore. It’s not flattering for the HD 3870 X2, which is behind its two competitors from NVIDIA. An inefficient CrossFire appears most probably at fault, the increase compared to a 3870 being limited to 23% at best, which is again explained by the increase in memory bandwidth.

i wonder wat it would be like to run folding at home on. that would boost my skor lol
i will reserve judgement on the ultra vs 3870x2 until the first driver release after the official release of the card - think how much performance the 2900 xt gained! (not that i would expect anything like that much, but the ultra has had a year for it's drivers to mature)
Two chips and not even a beater of a single GTS and still no where near a card (the GTX) that has been out for almost a year. Come on ATI whats happenned.
Anand's shows the card in a better light, something about newer drivers i hear? Beating the GTS in most games with a largish margin
Is the R700 really delayed until 2009? I thought that rumour was dismissed...
