If you were after an nVidia 8800...

by jim@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim) Jun 13, 2008 at 07:03 AM

....given the rather poor performance of the 8800 you might want to wait
for this:

<http://www.insanely-great.com/news.php?id=9212>

ATI Radeon 3870 HD.

• 512MB of 256-bit GDDR4 frame buffer memory

• 320 stream processors

• 775MHz engine for 70GBps

• (2) dual-link DVI interfaces (ie [2] 30" Cinema Display monitors)
— (2) cards can drive (4) Cinema Displays

• Designed as a graphics upgrade for Mac Pros
- The card works in both v1.0 and v2.0 PCI Express slots, so both 1G and
2G Mac Pro systems are covered.

• 3870 runs faster, costs less than the GeForce 8800 GT ($279)
— Up to 180% faster running Apple's Motion

• Unreal 2004 15% faster

It will retail for $219 when it ****ps at the end of this month. UK
pricing and availability has yet to be announced.
