Will newegg or clubit release the 3870x2 tonight?

[Racasdorph]

Does anyone know what time newegg or clubit normally updates their websites with new products like the ATI 3870x2? I want to buy it tonight but I know and trust newegg and clubit, i have used them before!

Feedback i would greatly appreciate

oh man, AMD is not releasing the drivers for CrossfireX until March, so you'll have an extra card sitting in your case doing nothing until then.

Yea, I was looking forward to buying 2 of them...too bad about the drivers.

Just ordered mine from Newegg, last time I waited for the 3870 and did not buy it then the price shot up and I don't want the same thing to happen here, although it is not Xmas time so it should be ok but hey why take the chance . The Asus one comes with the new version of COH and I did not find any of them that came with a good package other than Asus that also comes with all of the connectors and the chick on the card looks sweet, although I like the one from visiontek with the eyes but I really don't look down into my case much so no biggie .

Just ordered my (2) Diamonds. Will hopefully be here tomorrow.

Wonder how many people are going to buy two of these before the CrossfireX driver comes out.

 

[Mr. K6]

It's good to see them being sold at MSRP at least. Sucks about the drivers though

I bought 2 as well. i can live with using one for a while if the driver isn't working properly, it's still a world of difference to what i have now.

 

[xp3nd4bl3]

LOL my brother bought two as well.

Why is CrossfireX taking so long?

Thats why I bought two now. Last time I waited, the price went up.

 

[bluehaze013]

LOL I bought mine yesterday because I was afraid the price was going to be too high, I actually paid 20 bucks too much Ah well it will be here tommorow so I guess it evens out would have cost me 20 for overnight from Newegg anyways...

When you said two, did you mean four GPUs?

 

[Ed Blown Vert]

Yup, I just hope they fit in my case.

I guess I should plan on upgrading that too.

 

[Blacklash]

Well with all of us buying one of these to try folks should get plenty of user feedback. I'll be testing one in my spider rig.

Yea, I'm replacing 2 1950xtx's with 2 HD3870x2's. I've got room in my Antec Sonata III case for them. Putting them on a FoxConn x38 board with ddr3 memory. Fun times ahead, lol.

 

[Ed Blown Vert]

MIne are replacing two 3870's. If they fit in your Sonata, they should fit in my Antec 900.

 

[tc17]

One problem with Newegg is they have a no return policy on them.

 

[elyrly]

any difference then getting two 3870?

 

[Ed Blown Vert]

any difference then getting two 3870?

I'll find out tomorrow.

 

[gigasmack]

Ordered a Visiontek 3870 X2, hoping it will be here before the weekend.

2 slots used instead of 4 is a good thing.

 

[bluehaze013]

It seems faster than 3870 crossfire in a few games so seems with better drivers eventually the x2 would be better performance as well as only taking up 1 slot and not requiring an x38/48 mobo for dual 16x pcie lanes.
