If you thought your aging machine was ready for the heap, because it doesn’t have a PCIe-X slot, think again. The 3850 series of ATi video card’s are coming your way, and in theory, will blow away all existing AGP cards. If you don’t know about the ATI 3850, you should read this review. If you are excited, and want DirectX 10.1 support (you need it to get the most out of Vista you know), expect to see these boards sprouting from Powercolor and Sapphire very soon.

Register Review ATI 3850 And Like It Lots

Posted: December 13th, 2007 | Author: Daniel Georges | Filed under: sideblog | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

The Register really like the ATI 3850, especially in Crossfire mode. They have done a fantastic and in depth review with lots of taste benchmarks comparing it to its older sibling (2600) and its bigger brother (3870), and decided that, for its price can’t be beaten. The Register gave it a 90% mark and said “AMD’s new ATI Radeon HD 3850 sets an incredibly high standard for £100 graphics cards and that has to be good news for the casual gamer who demands value for money.” Sounds good enough for me.
