VisionTek Radeon HD 3870 X2 Overclocked Video Card Reviews

[RobRich]

Recently we reviewed the Asus EAH3850X2, and it tured out to be a real winner. It will be interesting to see how the VisionTek HD 3870 X2 OC stacks up to the HD3850X2, and a pair of overclocking Asus HD 3870 T.O.P's running in a CrossFire setup. Will the VisionTek overclock be enough to push it over the top? Today we will see if this video card can claim to be one -- if not the -- fastest ATI video card currently out.

Taking the card out of the box it is pretty heavy though not as large a card as the GeForce 9800 GTX. Visiontek have upped the ante with the overclocked card by putting a huge copper heatsink over the entire card with heatpipes and two large fans on both GPUs also enshrouded in copper heatsinks. Very meaty cooling solution. Thanks to all of this extra cooling the card is overclocked out of the box to 840MHz core clock speed and memory at 960MHz. This is 15MHz more than the standard core speed of a 3870X2 and 60MHz more for the memory.
