3870 CF > 8800 GT SLI

Jeez, 3870 crossfire power consumption is only slightly more than a single 8800gt!
 
Now they just need to get their asses in gear on the drivers and support more games :D

cheaper priced and identical performance.

seems to me the answer for anyone would be the cheaper, cooler, and low power consuming card!

I call BS.

8800 GT scales better than 3850, since it's driver dependent, no way I'd expect the 3870 to magically scale better.

8800 GT has effectively equal (if not slightly lower) power consumption then the 3870 (at load) and it's faster = better performance/watt.

I'd take this with a grain of salt, wait for [H] to bench the 3870s in crossfire...
