HotHardware.com take a look at three Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards, two from Asus and one from HIS, the EAH3870 X2 1GB, the EAH3870 X2 1GB TOP, and the HIS Radeon HD 3870 X2.

All of the Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards we've looked at in this round-up performed as expected. The Asus EAH3870 X2 1GB and HIS Radeon HD 3870 X2 performed similarly to each other and to AMD's reference design, which was to be expected considering all of the cards have the same features and specifications. The Asus EAH3870 X2 1GB TOP, however, had a slight advantage in all of the benchmarks (with the exception of the anomaly in 3DMark06's SM2.0 test) thanks to its higher core GPU and memory clock frequencies.
