O NDA para as novas placas gráficas da AMD/ATI terminou hoje, e os principais sites de informática colocaram já reviews on-line.

O site Anandtech conclui:
Without a doubt, AMD is back in the graphics game. When the Radeon HD 2900 XT launched, we couldn’t be more surprised at how poorly the product did. The lack of competition allowed NVIDIA to sit back and relax as the orders for more 8800-based product kept on flowing in. While the Radeon HD 3870 isn’t faster than the GeForce 8800 GT, if AMD can hit its price point, it is a viable alternative if you’re looking to save money.

Já o site VR-Zone, num teste mais exaustivo que o apresentado pelo Anandtech retira como conclusões o seguinte:
Both the ATI Radeon HD3850 and the HD3870 come in at a price significantly lower than their older brother, the Radeon HD2900XT. At US$179 and US$239 MSRP for the HD3850 and HD3870 respectively, the HD3870 will costs a good USD$60 dollars less than the NVIDIA 8800GT!. At about the same price, the HD3850 is delivering slightly better performance than can be expected of the 8600GTS which is a good sign for ATI. However, the HD3870, targetted at the 8800GT is just falling short of the latter’s performance at this point in time, but the 60 dollar difference might just be the deciding factor for th enthusiast to grab a HD3870 over the 8800GT instead.

With the upcoming launch of the AMD 790FX for quad CrossFire capabilities, the Radeon HD3000 series might really be AMD’s salvation!

Em Portugal já se encontram as duas placas em pré-venda, com preços de 249€ para a HD3870 e de 189€ para a HD3850. Sendo o principal argumento da AMD/ATI o preço estas não são boas notícias, uma vez que a HD3870 apresenta um preço superior � GeForce 8800GT. Para já a AMD/ATI pode capitalizar no facto de que as 8800GT se encontram praticamente esgotadas em todo o lado.
