ASUS EAH3870 TOP Review @ Neoseeker
Neoseeker reviews the ASUS EAH3870 TOP Edition graphics card and writes in the conclusion:
If the 8800 GT did not exist, then the HD 3870 would be rocking every PC gamer’s universe. For around $250, you can get the power previously reserved for video cards in the over-$400 range, not that long ago. For $250 USD, the HD 3870 delivers the performance that generally bests the HD 2900 XT, and is comparable to the 8800 GTX. Not that bad at all! The Asus EAH3870 TOP can deliver a solid gaming experience, for a fair price.
But it’s not all roses, because this card’s primary competition, the 8800 GT, does exist — and herein lies the problem for the HD 3870. While the HD 3870 did shine in a few of the benchmarks, such as Call of Juarez, both of our 8800 GT’s tested seemed to just out-edge the HD 3870, most of the time. At maximum resolutions with AA, often both 8800 GT cards we tested would have about 10 frames a second advantage over the Asus EAH3870 TOP. Ten frames a second is not a huge deal — but when two cards are priced fairly similarly, this difference can make or break a choice between two closely-matched cards.
