Now, in pursuit of cool and powerful GPUs, people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars. Their diversity in the market is amazing. But ten years ago this could not be said about this area. There were few video cards; their modifications also rarely appeared in such a large number. But even then, the competition between the “red” and “blue” camp became fiercer every year. So, in late 2007, AMD released its new brainchild - Radeon HD 3870.
As usual, this video card was released not only in the reference version, but also in various modifications from other manufacturers. Models differed in appearance, cooling systems and overclocking potential. Options from Gigabyte, Asus, Sapphire became more popular than the original version due to improved features.
