GeCube Radeon HD 3870 OC Edition Review @ Hardwarezone
Hardwarezone reviews the GeCube Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 O.C.Edition video card and gives it a final rating of 4.5 out of 5. Here is a part of the conclusion:
GeCube’s new X-Turbo III powered Radeon HD 3870 easily fulfills the cool and quiet quotient, thanks to its heavy duty cooler that packs more cooling performance than the reference. The 3D performance itself is also reinforced by its higher than usual clock speeds, though the actual improvements that you’ll see will vary from game to game. Even then, it’s still quite unlikely for this overclocked Radeon HD 3870 to overtake the GeForce 8800 GT. After all, the new BIOS from GeCube was just about sufficient for our overclocking to reach the level of a standard GeForce 8800 GT, so let’s not mention the many overclocked versions on sale now. Although a point to note here is that GeCube does assure that the card is fit for operating at its maximum OverDrive mode at 885/2400MHz DDR. At this level, it may not yet overtake the GeForce 8800 GT, but it can certainly give it some good competition.
