Legion Hardware is one of the first to offer a in-depth review of the Radeon HD 3870! They took the new card for a ride and compare it to the GeForce 8800 GT - the battle everyone wants to see.

Can AMD/ATI pull a rabbit out of their hat with this one?
Well there you have it, another disappointing release from AMD/ATI. Although they have managed to undercut Nvidia by reducing the cost of the Radeon HD 3870 by around 12% when compared to the GeForce 8800 GT, we found that on average it was 22% slower. So then in terms of value the GeForce 8800 GT looks to preserve its position as the best value high-end graphics card ever released. The GeForce 8800 GT has proven to be a strong performer, as has the entire GeForce 8800 series ever since it was first introduced over a year ago now.
