Abstract: At last there is a competitor for Nvidias mighty GeForce 8800GT, and a well priced one at that. But the performance of the factory-overclocked EAH3870, however close to the 8800GT, still cant knock the king of the mid-range cards off its perch. Asus...
From the look of the specifications, we were not surprised to see that the Radeon HD38xx series was not going to take the performance crown from nVIDIA. Not surprisingly the 8800GT is scoring higher than the HD3870 in every single game - and most of th...
Solid performance, Overclocked speeds out of the box, Decent bundle of accessories that includes a copy of "Company of Heroes - Opposing Fronts", Two slot cooling solution gets the heat out of your case, Supports 4-way CrossFire configurations
Fan is loud at full speed, and seems to get there more often than other cards tested, GPU would not overclock beyond the factory settings, Priced considerably higher than other 512MB HD3870 cards
The 512MB ASUS EAH3870 TOP Overclocked Radeon HD3870 performed as expected, which is a very good thing. As the big brother to the HD3850 TOP card reviewed here I expected it to perform about 10-20% better, and in general that is about what it did. It o...
In the end the ASUS EAH3870 Top is a good card for the ATI fans out there that performs well at a price that is reasonable by top-end graphics card standards. ASUS includes a nice bundle with its cards whereas some other vendors offer nothing extra for...
The ASUS EAH3870 TOP is a solid video card that is priced higher than we think it should be while offering no real world gaming benefits for the extra cash. If ASUS can bring its pricing closer to parity with similar offerings from other vendors, we th...
Pretty high performance in contemporary games, On average 6%10% faster than ATI Radeon HD 3850, DirectX 10.1 support, Excellent anisotropic filtering quality, Good start for the future: DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support, Fullyfledged hardware supp...
Insufficient driver optimization, Texturing and raster processors could be too few, High price.
Our tests of the EAH3870 TOP and EAH3850 TOP graphics cards from ASUS have proved that factory overclocking of ATI Radeon HD 3800 produces but a very small effect and brings almost no benefits for real gaming applications. We don’t mean there is no...
Abstract: Compared to other factory overclocked Radeon HD 3870 boards, including Sapphires Radeon HD 3870 Atomic, ASUS offering in the EAH3870 TOP frequently manages to put its nose in front of other similar parts, thanks mainly due that relatively large core...
This is the closest that an AMD/ATI-based graphics card has got to competing with Nvidia at the same price point for some time now, but there are still cases where even this factory overclocked Radeon HD 3870 from Asus disappoints me a bit. It pains me...
Inexpensive for its performance class; excellent image quality; HDMI output; supports PCI Express 2.0 and DirectX 10.1
Somewhat noisy during intense activity; 3D performance drops at highest resolutions; activating CrossFire disables secondary monitors
Like the HD 3850, this HD 3870-based card offers unmatched performance in its price range—but its price is close to that of the faster GeForce 8800 GT....
If the 8800 GT did not exist, then the HD 3870 would be rocking every PC gamers 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 per...
