They also said the 3870 scored 11k+, which is high unusual.

That does seem a bit weird, especially since the single 3870 beats it handily. Not sure...

is that what you mean?

Anyway 3DMARK is useless. The 8800GTS got less than the 9800GTX and 8800GTX despite beating it in all but one of the tests done on last year's biggest titles. I mean seriously when you get a higher frame rate on COD4 with a GTS at all resolutions than a card that cost 30% more you can't call that 11k :(

3DMark is outdated. The most you can do is start comparing the cards at higher resolutions.

8800 GT's as 2 physical cards in SLI are quicker than a 3870 x2, u should have bought those instead.. much quicker than a GTX

I might try it with my new computer. Last I checked, it cost money. But now it looks like it's free.

This seems odd, even a HD3850 256mb should do atleast 9k with a standard rig. (C2D/2Gb 800mhz)

Obvious they had a serious driver issu or did the wrong test, or maybe it´s just a simple typo, Most benchmarks show about 14-16k in 3Dmark06 def. setting. with the HD3870x2.
