The first dual-core AMD/ATi graphics card has arrived on shore. Gamers have been looking forward to this new graphics card as it is 2 HD3870 combined onto one PCB, Crossfiring on 1 graphic card. This is the first dual core graphics card since the NVIDIA GeForce 7950×2 in 2006.
HD3870×2 is made up of 2 RV670 graphics chip used in HD3850 and HD3870 graphics card.
There are several reviews going around the net regarding this highly anticipated graphic card.
For the reviews, I gathered that this new graphics card need a new driver to enhance its performance as well as providing CrossFireX support to Crossfire 2 or more HD3870×2 for godly performance. Currently, HD3870×2 is on par with CrossFire HD3870 but slightly behind NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra SLi, which is an aging graphics card, on some of the tests. We will be looking forward to the new driver release as soon as possible.

It is always fun to see how gaming has make the world evolve in one way.
w00t has became the Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year 2007. w00t is used in gaming forum and conversations in games such as FPS game (Counter-Strike) and MMORPG (World of Warcraft). It is part of the l33t speak (’leet’ or ‘elite’) which people used to communicate with fellow gamers.
w00t means an expression of joy (with or without a reason, that’s how gamers live). It is also an acronym of “we own the other team”, which means triumph over the opposing team.
Gaming language has evolved through the decades, with MMORPG and online games. It is certainly a joy to enjoy the language we all ’speak’ (type?)
