So I decided to throw AMD a bone while building my new Intel rig, and chose the HD 3870, running under Vista 64. Here are my e-penis (er, 3DMark) scores:
3DMark06: 11,706
3DMark05: 20,206
A big jump from my main rig, which pulled 4400 in 3DMark05 and wouldn't even complete 3DMark06. I have to admit, that Deep Freeze simulation is pretty sweet.
Presently the card is OCd to 840/1321.
512MB of GDDR4 memory is looking very good so far. I'm eventually going to load Oblivion and start taking that for a spin. The system is also Orthos stable.
I know that this card isn't **quite** on a par with the 8800GT, but I did save some cash and thus far I'm quite happy with my purchase. What else are others doing with their HD 3870s, what kind of e-penis scores are you getting, and are you Crossfiring two of them? (I can't on my rig, as it is MicroATX.)
Just wondering what others in the community are doing.
