ATI Radeon HD 3850 256MB Crossfire Review
May 14, 2008
Let’s see, if one HD 3850 is two-thirds of an 8800 GTX for one-third the price, then two must be…
CrossFire and SLI are so interesting to us, though. We know it’d make more sense to just spend more money on a really fast card, but–two video cards! Given that you can definitely get two 3850s for $300, it seems like a reasonable upgrade option, even though I normally rail pretty hard against mid-range multi-GPU configurations.
The main weakness of the 3850 is its clean performance drop when anti-aliasing is enabled. Without that, it really does scream. Will an extra $150 give it that 4xAA shine?
