Hey guys,

since I haven't seen any reviews posted on the forums yet, I thought I'd post the results here..

Review : Legion Hardware HD3870 vs 8800GT

Seems like the HD3870(512MB 256bit) will be going for roundabout R2500 in SA.

Andy over at Systemshock (Andy's price link - hope I can post this??) can already get a few brands for that price, but compared to the 8800GT the HD3870 doesn't look to be worth the buy.

Probably the same. But the legionhardware review is a fraud and has been posted somewhere on the forum before.
 
Rfol, it was me. :(

but I'd look at a few other reviews, and Prophecy say they'll be getting the card in for around R2300, possibly a little less or more.

Getting the 3850 (R1750 at Prophecy atm) in crossfire isn't a bad idea though, but you'll want to wait for the 7.11 drivers to work with these cards.
 
That excellent news EHV. Definately spices things up a bit as 2 3850's beats a GTX according to Anandtech if i recall right.
