PC Perspective takes a look at the Diamond Radeon HD 3870 1GB.
Back in November of 2007 AMD released the Radeon HD 3800-series of graphics cards to a mostly positive reaction. The HD 3870 was the “high end” card meant to compete with NVIDIA’s 8800 GT card while the HD 3850 was aimed at the 8600 GTS and other mid-range solutions. Back then the HD 3870 was a 512MB card and the HD 3850 was 256MB – but times have shifted since then and in an attempt to keep up with increasing competition from NVIDIA in all price ranges we have seen both cards double their frame buffers. You can now easily find HD 3850 cards with 512MB of memory and today Diamond is the first card vendor to create a 1GB version of the HD 3870.
