ATI HD 3850 256MB Videocard Review - Page 2

Tech Geek Deluxe · January 1st, 2008

Hey ... I like it here and the fact that reviews are without guile.

It takes time to build up the reputation of doing things the right way Rich ... I think HardwareLogic has the winning formula that will eventually outpace the others.

Really nice review. I just got a HD 3870 512mb card and it's awesome. I upgraded from a 7600GT KO. I'm really happy with it.

I'm waiting to pounce on a 3870 when they dip into the sub $210 range.

I got it for Christmas. I think it was $250 total with shipping.

Here is a quote from this Anandtech Review

Quote:

The 3870 is supposed to retail for $219, while the 3850 will carry a $179 price tag.

I'm not biting on Newegg's price gouging (or high demand, whatever you want to call it) until Prices are reasonable (which I consider to be around the $200 mark).

Yeah I missed ordering from newegg by one day to get the card at $219 and then they were sold out. I ended up ordering from xpcgear.com which was cheaper then newegg which at that time newegg had them at $279. I knew the prices would come down, I just didn't feel like waiting. Bad excuse I know :-/
