>> Re: HD 3850 Preview w/ Game Results
OK gee, a bunch of graphs from AMD. Great. Doesn't say much. How about a heads up against the 2900xt, 2600xt, the 8800GT 8800GTS and the 8600GTS. So ya here we go. Some REAL comparisons. Being an nVidia user I must say it does look like the 3850 does have some good bang for the buck. But as usual nobody seems to really have what you'ld call hard facts on any of the DX10 aspects of anybodys cards.

Hmm, 3850 is good bang for the buck but far from stealing any performance crowns. I figure 3870 isn't much different but will probably throw bang/buck out the window.

I've just ordered a Sapphire 3850 from Dabs UK for £100 to replace my 1950 pro...looking at benchmarks I reckon I should get about 30% more performance...fingers crossed....

Just installed the HD 3850 and finally able to play Crysis without stuttering / crashing every 5 mins! 
Thank you ATI!!!! Nice piece of hardware for a good price..... 
One strange thing though...I can't seem to run 3DMark 05...it just freezes and says it has to close. Shame, I'd like to see the score compared to my old 1950pro. The same happens when I try to run PCMark 05...not sure why as they used to work before installing the new card.

OK...thanks, I did wonder about that...
I'll give it a go (probably get some cr@p score and want to rush out 'n' buy another card!!!)
