When we review a new graphics card on Hardware.Info and list the benchmark results, the charts also include other cards from the current and previous generation to put things in perspective. We typically don't go back further in time to avoid clutter, b...

Impressive performance for an affordable card, but the 9600 GT treads on its toes. The Radeon HD 3870 sits at the top end of ATi’s mid-range offerings and it’s proved hugely popular since its launch. Like the HD 3850, it’s a 55nm p...

November 2007 is going to be a huge, huge month for AMD. Intel, its foremost microprocessor competitor, has successfully launched a range of 45nm processors that promises improved performance and greater energy efficiency. Fighting on more than a sing...
AMD Radeon HD 3870 is a fast, fast mid-range card that checks all the feature tick boxes with aplomb. Trouble is, NVIDIAs GeForce 8800 GT 512 manages to out-muscle it in the benchmarks, largely because it has a developer-relations team that’s proper...

Things aren’t looking too good for AMD. Up until now, its graphic card offerings were only worthwhile for two cards: the Radeon HD 2900 XT, performing better than the GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB at a similar price (but at a noise and power consumption leve...

The new fabrication process is a good start but it doesn’t guarantee success as Nvidia has just introduced a 65nm process for the new 8800 GT and will presumably be using it for future GeForce 8-series GPUs. The point is that Nvidia got its design f...
The ATI Radeon HD 3870 is a decent package at a very fair price but the fact remains that AMD’s latest and greatest graphics card cant quite take the fight to Nvidia’s GeForce 8800 GT. Perhaps it’s a good thing that AMD has produced a gr...

March is a new month for AMD and it means a new set of Radeon HD 7000 series graphics cards for us. The new Radeon HD 7800 series includes the HD 7870 and HD 7850 and both are designed for serious gamers. Based on the same GCN (Graphics Core Next) arch...
The Radeon HD 7800 series is impressive delivering exceptional performance while consuming very little power in the process. The Radeon HD 7870 was surprisingly fast trailing the HD 7950 on average by just 8% at 1920x1200. In fact the worst case scenar...

In our reviews we often overclock graphics cards in a “rational” way. In other words, we overclock without special tools or methods such as replacing the card’s native cooler with a liquid cooling system or modifying its power circuitry...
Our attempt to overclock the ATI Radeon HD 3870 to an extremely high clock rate proved that this GPU should not be expected to increase its performance dramatically if its frequency is increased by 30%.Click to enlargeClick to enlargeThe diagrams show...

We recently tested ATIs new lineup of the 3400 series graphics card, it was considered to be one of their value cards, and it sure was. Now we are going to put their performance card, the ATI Radeon 3870, up to some strenuous tests to see how wel...
As you have seen on the previous pages, we have showed you exactly how the ATI Radeon 3870 performs, and how it stacks up against the NVidia 8800 GT Overclock. Wrapping up all of the results accumulated on the previous pages, the ATI proved to be bett...

Retaining hope for the troubled AMD enthusiast platform, we decided this time around to overclock the graphics card. After all, the Catalyst driver suite includes ATI Overdrive, which allows you to set the core and memory clocks higher than the manufac...

Clearly, for well under $249 dollars, the Radeon 3870 is one helluva card that packs really good game performance, top HD playback and really does a nice job of snuggling into a segment of its own. It’s no surprise that AMD is keeping tabs on p...

Last month, Legit Reviews benchmarked a pair of Radeon HD 3850's on the day they were launched, but didn't have a pair of Radeon HD 3870's to include in the article. The Radeon HD 3850 video cards were impressive for what they could do at their pri...

The last few weeks have been a particularly busy time in the technology industry, with the introduction of Nvidia’s GeForce 8800 GT, Intel’s first 45nm processor and now the announcement of AMD's platform. The platform, which AMD touts as the fir...
AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 3870 is a great product for the money, but its price point is incredibly important to its long term success. I say this because unfortunately for AMD, there’s a certain G92-based graphics card from Nvidia which delivers, in...

The reviewed last week is a 256MB card costing under $200. Thats great for a lot of people, but theres a huge market for $200-250 graphics cards with 512MB of RAM, and thats where the Radeon HD 3870 comes in. It bumps up the clock speeds and RAM to...
Fast, quiet, relatively low power utilization, and priced to move. ASUS bundles a great game, too.
Not quite as fast as a GeForce 8800 GT overall (though a little cheaper).
Just the right card for you if that GeForce 8800 GT is a little too expensive and you want a little more "oomph" than the Radeon HD 3850...

The AMD Radeon HD 3800 series of graphics cards is ushering in new life for AMD GPUs that is desperately needed. The HD 2000 series was more or less a flop in terms of enthusiast success though no one wants to admit that in Sunnyvale. The RV670 core...

Without a doubt, AMD is back in the graphics game. When the Radeon HD 2900 XT launched, we couldnt be more surprised at how poorly the product did. The lack of competition allowed NVIDIA to sit back and relax as the orders for more 8800-based product...
