well i have tried this card for the 1st time ever , i was a loyal nvidia fan but now
i think ati is the new boss ..

this budget price card has loads of potential , trust me , coming from a tri sli system on which i have spend thousand this budget system is the best yet.

imagine a full cross fire gaming rig costing less then 50g , and that is a mouth full . i got the card from MEDIA INC islamabad and am extremely happy with it .

here are the scores

please note that all these benchmarks are at 1600.1200 and at max setings
nothing left on change with a c2d 2.2 ghz proc oc to 2.92 ghz.

COMPANY OF HEROS

max = 140
min = 32
avg = 72

fear with same res max setings but 4x fsaa and 16x anisotropic

max = 131
min=29
avg`= 70 ,


FEAR WITH 2XAA AND 2X ANISO

MAX = 160
MIN = 31
AVG = 80

FEAR WITH 2XAA AND BILENEAR FILTERING

MAX = 250
AVG = 125
MIN = 71


CRYSIS AT SAME RES HIGH SETINGS

MIN = 32
AVG = 52
MAX = 62 FPS

CPU AVG FPS = 49FPS

FINALLY WORLD IN CONFLICT

1600 1200 RES AND WITH VERY HIGH SETINGS

MAX = 46
MIN = 19
AVG = 31

1440 / 1600 RES

MAX = 75
AVG = 47
MIN = 30


I HAVE NOTICED THAT ONLY BY CHANGING THE RES IN THIS GAME DID
THE SCORES IMPROVE , MEANING A VERY SHADER DEPENDENT GAME ..

ANYWAY FOR A CARD COSTING 13500 THIS CARD MATCHES THE BIG BOYS
AND IN MOST CASES BEATS THEM BY A LONG MARGIN SPECIALLY THE 9800GTX


THANKS

Khurram

well 3870 and 9600 gt are on par and galaxy should have reduced the price for 3870 much earlier but they didn't until the 4870 arrived......yeah its a very good gpu and as now price of 9600 gt and 3870 r same, one should go with 3870....

Nice going Muhd, i am also planning for my next rig and to be honest for the last 2 months 790i Ultra was the only motherboard in mind but now i am only focusing on a Crossfire based board. ATI really has a winner and lets hope this put nVidia back in its original state of mind.

On the other hand, lets all hope that AMD does something similar with Intel which is by far very unlikely.
