I have covered the price-performance of 9600 GT SLi vs 9800 GTX. Now, it’s time to compare 9600 GT with Radeon 3870.
This time, the review was done at TechSpot, and clearly, from the review, 9600 GT is a more value for money card than the Radeon 3870. I will quote some performance indicators.
From the graph, you can see that the performance of 9600 GT is almost similar to 3870. Even with SLi and Crossfire, the disparity between the 2 combinations are not much to be noticeable.
Hence, 9600 GT edges in this comparison because of its price. At USD 130, it definitely beat 3870, which is price at around USD 280. For less than half the price, you can similar performance. The winner is obvious.
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.
