A sample of some benchies...looking very good as an 8800 contender as you can see:

I'm gonna have to see the price go down a bit first before I consider it, but bravo ATI for showing that you are without a doubt not going to stop competing with nvidia.

Looking good so far, but I think I'm gonna stick to the 8800GT in sli for my build.

Ditto.

Your last few pics don't like being hotlinked.

Here are some more

^^^ From anandtech, the Intel/Nvidia house. Odds are they were run with the older drivers, too.

Either way, the 3870 X2 is a great card, and shows that ATI is finally getting their head out of the sand.

Just wait a minute, any website that don't show the result that you want is automatically an Nvidia biased website according to you.

The results from some of the other reviews were very similar to Anandtech

Just look at the benchmarks from Techreport and compare it to Anandtech
AMD's Radeon HD 3870 X2 video card - The Tech Report - Page 6

Is techreport an Intel/Nvidia source as well ?

And Anandtech was using the latest driver, 8.451

Is 3870 x2, like dualcore, 2 GPUs? What differences does it have from the 3870.
