Well it's the first one I've found, doubt it's the first one on the web. Another thing is, if you don't understand or like the Inquirer's satirical style of writing, don't chalk that up to be bad journalism. Take it and stick it up y'ass. I hate the amount of bullshit people art on these forums about how discreditable the site is. That's bullcrap, y'just too stupid to understand their sense of humour.

Anyroad, for those that are interested...

Enjoy!

:rockout:

This'll be old new to some of you...

Yeah, and the better your platform, the better the card will perform... obviously.

^^

If only I could find some cheap DDR500 I'd be very happy buying this card and having my current machine as a back up/portable gaming rig.

Oh it will boost your machine, I'm hoping to see one and half times the performance of my X1950 Pro at the very most. Compared to your 7600 you'll see a very decent increase I'd suspect.

wow *If you have an ailing AGP system, should you buy this card or not? Well, if you have no plans on buying a new PC until the end of the year, we’d say the HD 3850 PCS AGP 512MB is a sure bet* is he talking to me ?

I hope they give it a good price,thats why I had to leave AGP

It looks pretty good, for amd users with their X2's this will be a great card for upgrading from their old X1950/7950, my PCIE version doubled the framerate over my old 7950GT AGP

so this will be a big upgrade for AGP

its actually a better option than the bench suggests.. they did pick the worse two games on the planet (world in conflict and supreme commander) for showing up the problems with the old single core P4..

with other games it wouldnt be of a much of a problem.. the odd low in those two games dont matter that much either.. they aint exactly "twitchers"..

as for dx10 and vista.. as they say.. its not much of a loss.. vista on an older machine dont make a great deal of sense and nothing plays dx10 decently anyways..

Bench it now and bench it once you've got the 3850. I wonder if the delay is due to ATi trying to fix the Code 43 error? I can only hope ay?
