MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard Review
|
There are not a whole lot of motherboards using the 790FX chipset at the moment, and if we remove the ones equipped with 4 PCI-Express slots which give you the Quad CrossFire opportunity, there are probably only a couple boards out there.

Audio FX Pro 5and1 Gaming Headset Review
|
The Audio FX Pro 5and1 isn't the best headset we've ever used and, because Ben Heck himself has pinned his name on it, that comes as a bit of a disappointment. On the other hand though, it isn't the worst headset we've ever used either – it's somewhere in between.

Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 512MB Atomic Review

Sapphire's Radeon HD 3870 512MB Atomic is a ground breaking product in many respects, but sadly where it falls short at the moment is on the performance side of things.

BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB Tested
|
BFGTech's GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB appears to have hit a price point that can't be matched by anything other than stock-clocked GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB cards and as such it earns a recommendation from us. However, it's important to make sure that it's going to be connected to a 1680x1050 or 1920x120...

AMD ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 Tested
|
While the Radeon HD 3870 X2 has the potential to become one of, if not the fastest graphics cards released to date, it's not something that I can recommend over Nvidia's current flagship GeForce 8800 Ultra and 8800 GTX cards because it's only as strong as its weakest link. Sadly for AMD's graphics p...

AMD ATi HD3870 in Crossfire and ATi HD3870 X2 Compared

The one downside about graphics cards which carry two cores on the singular PCB is that they're normally slower than buying two separate cards based on the same tech. What we're going to look at here today is the performance of the HD 3870 X2 compared to the HD 3870 in Crossfire.
