3850

[newguy5]

so i'm planning to buy this soon and i see a 256mb version and a 512mb version, but there are like no reviews for the 512mb, so i didn't know if i was missing something (because i assumed for $20 more i should get the 512mb, right?).

In my openion If you want 512 get a 8800gt or a 3870, don't mess with the 512 3850.

well i want the 3850, but i'm just wanting to make sure i buy the better one. a $20 difference for 256mb more makes me skeptical though.

 

[jimkonow]

why do you want the 3850? the 3870 is a better card.

 

[newguy5]

but it's still more expensive. for that price may as well buy the 8800gt. right?

I like the 3870 better heres why:

The 3870 is cheaper, it runs cooler, and it runs quieter. The 3870 is also within spitting distance of the 8800gt and actually beats it in some* games.

*ok ok it's like one game beting it by like 5fps but so what

And no I'm not an ATI fan I just think it is a better card.
