For price you get alot
- Pros: Well I don't own this but installed it for my roommate. Can score a solid 10,000 on 3dmark06 with proper CPU and Ram not to mention it's abilities when overclocked. He is looking forward to his Crossfire system that he will be ordering soon, will post another review when he does it. Can play Crysis (med./high) 1024x768, Rainbow Six Vegas, COD 4, GoW and just about everything else, with two of them I am sure it will be able to do that at High resolution.
- Cons: Not a 3870 or 8800 but uhh... for the price no complaints (not a con)! 256Mb on board ram (restriced to lower res and can't render high textures as quickly).
- Other Thoughts: Great card, if you have one already, then get two, and overclock them, be happy. Crossfire has a significant increase over a single card. However if you haven't purchased one yet, look for the 3870 or 8800gt, they are just a little higher and noticeably more powerful
Solid Card
- Pros: This card can't be beat for the money. For almost every game out there, it performs very well with the default clocks. (300 GPU, ~800 Memory clock)
- Cons: This isn't the best card out there. (well, who wants to pay $500 for a vid. card anyways?)
- Other Thoughts: This card failed me a little on crysis... for a while. I tried every little tweak that existed, with the ATI drivers, and in crysis. None worked to up my frames. Then I tried ATI overdrive built in to their catalyst driver suite. (it's now at 700 GPU clock, and 1000 memory) This upped my frames a lot, and it throttles the GPU down if it gets too hot. I now play crysis at very high, but medium shadows. Works fine! Defenitely the best card under $200.
HD3850
- Pros: Ran Counter-strike Source at an average of 117FPS and ran COD4 maxed out 4xAA at 50FPS, but i did get it to hit 18fps with just throwing a grenade at the ground.
- Cons: Got Unreal Tournament 3 for Christmas and installed it, thinking "This ATI card is gonna rock!" Boy was i wrong, I got worse FPS then i do with my 7600GT. My 7600GT can run it at medium settings "all 3's", but the 3850 ran it on 2's and i had to turn other things down to. That really messed it up for me. JUST SAY NO TO ATI.
- Other Thoughts: Thought since ATI and AMD joined they might actually have better drivers. What a mistake! Nvidia is way more stable.
