I would really prefer an 8800GT..,....but the 3870 beats it by quite a lot at memory bandwidth due to the clockability of GDDR4...and the 8800GT doesnt support software voltmodding past 1.1vgpu
I just wanted to know if anyone can confirm that the 3870 supports software voltage control through tools like atiTool?
The 8800GT beats the 3870, but I will have the GPU under water and would love to push the voltage up and overclock but would rather not do any hardmods to it.
The 8800gt vgpu can only be raised from 1.05 to 1.1v through software...which only seems ot net a max clock of around 750-780mhz. I understand that clocks aren't everything but with the 3870 at 1+ghz and the MUCH higher memory bandwidth I would think it would outperfrom a 8800GT and cost less.
