Interestingly, Tomshardware's Chinese site has more information. This
article from *9 days ago* already reports DX10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support, along with photos of the HD3870 and HD3850. http://www.tomshardware.com/cn/119,news-119.html The HD3850 has a single-slot cooler; wonder if it will perform competitively against the 8800GT. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

New graphics cards coming from ATI this Christmas - HD3800 series DX 10.1 compliant
The HD3850 looks good to me. How soon can I get my hands on one?
It's interesting you referenced a Chinese site. Back when I did video production design and service, I subscribed to JEI - Japanese Electronics Industry. A magazine that gave me a 1 to 2 year jump on what was coming out on the US industry. It cost a lot of money to have it flown to me monthly, but it was worth every penny to get it. I always knew what the sales people from Matsuhashi (Panasonic - JVC-many others) and Sony were going to be pushing that year. It blew them away. Fun for me. Now it's all on the net. If you know where to go. That web site is fun, a mixture of Mandarin and English. I love the tables and photos. Thanks for the link. I believe from Tomshardware's article, the 3800 series will perform about 2/3 the capability of the 8800 GT series. For around $200 and DX 10.1 certified, it sounds about right for me. We shall see, I don't trust Tomshardware posts so much anymore, I got burnt on a mobo they were hawking a year ago.

New graphics cards coming from ATI this Christmas - HD3800 series DX 10.1 compliant
FoO:
I just came across an article on the GeForce 8800 GT on ExtremeTech. Most interesting. The article does not compare it against the ATI HD3800 series as of yet. See at: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...2209197,00.asp Looks impressive, but I do not see any DX 10.1 support. Nice price, in the $250 range. It will be interesting to see how the 8800 GT and the HD 3850 compare. Later William "First of One" wrote in message news Interestingly, Tomshardware's Chinese site has more information.

New graphics cards coming from ATI this Christmas - HD3800 series DX 10.1 compliant
What ATi needs to do is to get the hardware AA resolver working again (which
it may well do with the 55 nm die shrink). The current HD2K series take a much larger hit with AA enabled than the previous X1K series did. In any case, even if the HD3850 turns out to be slower than the 8800GT, it can still force 8800GT prices even lower than the current $260-280 range. A good thing for the consumer. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."

I'm looking into getting a dual-TFT monitor setup for my home office and I want to have DVI for both monitors. I've only found two graphics cards that will do this: the Matrox P-series (Parhelia, P650 and P750) and the Asus 9560.
