- Yay! Another piece of hardware that can crash because it's running past its rated speed. Another wave of people blaming it on Windows...

- (MGS4-SS said @ #1.1)Because its Windows' fault for not keeping up.
I don't get the joke. How is it Microsoft's fault if someone is using a part in their computer beyond its rated capacity? -

- so true
This is quite possibly the most impressive 3870 X2 graphics card available today, with the only possible exception being the ASUS version we reviewed a few months back. Like the ASUS, this Visiontek card aims at offering a greatly improved cooling solution, quad DVI-outputs, along with some factory overclocking to top it all off.
As you should know by now, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 is in essence two Radeon HD 3870 GPUs stuck together on the same PCB. This has already been proven to work quite well in terms of performance, but there's always the heat output concern.
