Re: Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 ATOMIC: the best RV670 yet
Maybe I haven't read the article properly but why does the Atomic beat the Geforce in all benchmarks, is cheaper and yet has less "bang for buck"... What have I missed?

The Atomic only wins in crossfire, so two cards, which makes it far more expensive and less "bang 4 buck"

Re: Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 ATOMIC: the best RV670 yet
I'm just nitpicking but I fail to understand how those particular two are improving the power usage:"...consumes around half the power, thanks to a bunch of improvements - DX10.1, PCIe 2.0, to name but two...".
Great card nonetheless - definately a wiser desicion over the NV alternative (and I own a nvidia card).Not only is it more innovative but also offers superior image quality  |

No chance of a DX10 Company of Heroes comparison?
