Diamond's Radeon HD 3870 1GB video card

The GeForce 9 series multi-GPU extravaganza
Nvidia just recently introduced its GeForce 9800 GTX, and this is our first look at that card. But we didn't really stop there. We threw together two and three 9800 GTX cards to see how they perform in some incredibly powerful and borderline ridiculous configurations. Then... Read more...
