Dual HD 3850 card with 1GB of memory

 

Asus has officially announced its new HD 3850 X2 card with 1GB of memory, branded EAH3850X2/G/3DHTI/1G. The new card uses the same dual fan cooling design previously seen on Asus HD 3870 X2 cards. As we wrote before, Asus is the first and also one of the few partners that will launch this card, since some of the partners just won't bother to make this card because of its rumored high price.

The new card from Asus works at 668MHz for the GPUs, and comes with 1GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 829MHz (1,658MHz effective). According to the Asus press release this card scores 13250 in 3DMark06, which is 34 percent higher than 9884 when compared to a single GPU solution.

Unfortunately, the availability date and the price are not yet revealed, but according to rumors this card should have a price tag of around $300.
