Performances Roundup
The averages obtained for each card and for each game including Crysis. Similarly, the numbers obtained with STALKER are found in averages taken with filters disabled. Please note the progression of the Radeon HD 3870 compared to the last review, placing itself slightly ahead of the HD 2900 XT in most resolutions. With regard to the HD 3870 X2, as we’ve said, its lead over the 8800 Ultra is slim in those resolutions and it’s even behind NVIDIA in 1680*1050 with filters enabled! We haven’t included averages from the Radeon HD 3870/3850 CrossFire since it wasn’t able to launch Age of Empires III. However throughout this review, it is often slightly slower than the Radeon HD 3870 X2 except in Call of Duty 4.

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...
