Asus EAH3870 X2 1GB TOP Sneak Peek
Ever get the hankering to run not one but four panels from a single graphics card? Let's see... How about a quartet of 24" widescreens spanning your desktop or game environment? The good folks at Asus sent this beefy plank-o-silicon over for test and evaluation and needless to say, it seemingly has the gifts.

- Overclocked out of the box (speeds to be announced in our full review)
- Custom cooling with dual fans
- All copper heat-plate with heatpipes linked to dual aluminum heatsinks.
- Much lighter wieght than the original reference design AMD Radeon HD 3870 X2
- Dual slot solution
In typical fashion, Asus steps out to market with something innovative and different versus a run-of-the-mill reference design. The Asus design team was able to cram four dual-link DVI connectors and an S-Video port into a single dual-slot back plate. Stay tuned for more details in the weeks ahead as to how this new high-end board performs.

OMG.. cant wait.. |

That's just ridiculous! I love it! This is making me want to go with ATI again in my next machine. Can these be crossfired? |
|
So you want 8 Monitors ? :S |
|
I just cant believe someone needs that many monitors! |
|
Yes, they can be CrossFired, just not yet. The CrossFireX drivers are supposed to be ready in March. |
|
:) Just had to crack the whip there. Don't tease our loyal readers for too long Wopo! |
|
Hi All, WOW! |
|
I understand that xfire drivers for this card won't be available till march, but I'm wondering if newer Ati cards in general(i.e. 3850/3870)will work in xfire mode on my current board(in sig). Also since my board isn't pcie 2.0 will that negatively affect performance and if so by approx. how much percentage-wise??? ~EDIT~ Strike that last question... shoulda been obvious to me. |
|
This is awsome :) |
|
Can you find out wether the DVI ports are genlocked or not? This is a requirement to use them with a 3840x2400 WQUXGA IBM T221 monitor. Thanks! |

We're not actually sure on this but will ask our AMD-ATI contacts and get back to you ASAP. |
