<p><b>HD 3870 in Crossfire vs. HD 3870 X2</b></p>
<p>TweakTown <a href=http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1282/1/page_1_introduction/index.html>answers the question</a>: "What is better; two HD 3870s in Crossfire, or a single HD 3870 X2?" Performance is close between both cards.</p>
<p><b>Pure benchmarks for the HIS branded X2</b></p>
<p>Guru3D puts the <a href=http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/490/1>HIS brand HD 3870 X2</a> through the paces with today's latest eye-candy games. They came away impressed with the card's performance and compatibility.</p>
<p><b>More benchmarks from the ATI reference model</b></p>
<p>HEXUS continues in the same manner, but uses an <a href=http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=11398&page=1>ATI-badged card</a> and some different games. They praise the card for it's versatility, but note that without proper driver support, the card's performance falls. TechReport <a href=http://techreport.com/articles.x/13967>agrees</a>.</p>
<p><b>And finally, a look at a non-reference model</b></p>
<p>TweakTown ends the list with a nice review of the <a href=http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1281/gecube_radeon_hd_3870_x2_graphics_card/index.html>GECUBE version</a> of the HD 3870 X2. This one has a funky cooler, and they've pushed the memory a good bit while giving the cores a mild boost. Needless to say, it's crazy fast.</p>
