ASUS Radeon HD 3870 512MB G-DDR4 Author: Shane Baxtor SUMMARY: AMD's RV670 has been discussed a lot and it's finally almost here. We check out the ASUS HD Radeon 3870 in fine detail! Editor: Steve Dougherty Category: Visual Published: 14th November 2007 Manufacturer: ASUS Our Rating: 91% Rate our Content Now! Introduction Here it is! The new AMD offering! It’s the 55nm DX10.1 HD Radeon 3870 and not the 3870 XT or XTX but just the 3870. The other model to launch is the 3850. In the old naming scheme the 3870 would represent an XT while the new 3850 is a PRO. We have on hand today the brand new 3870 from ASUS. There are a lot of questions that have to be answered and mainly, how does it perform? Where does it sit on the market? How much is it going to cost? Should you buy it? Are NVIDIA in trouble? We intend to answer all this and more as we look into the 3870 from ASUS.
