We know it'd make more sense to just spend more money on a really fast card, but--two video cards! Given that you can definitely get two 3850s for $300, it seems like a reasonable upgrade opt...

SummaryWherever Nvidia treads, ATI must surely follow. Or is it the other way round? With their latest 3D chipset launches, Nvidia and AMD's PC graphics subsidiary have once again mirrored each other extremely closely
ProsUnprecedented shader power at this price point, Slim single-slot form factor and significantly reduced power consumption, Added DX10.1 functionality
ConsAnti-aliasing still performed in the shader units, Quad-card Crossfire support a bit of a gimmick
VerdictFinally, a genuinely affordable but powerful card with full DirectX 10 support

SummaryFinally, a midrange graphics card worth its silicon. ATI's new 256MB Radeon HD 3850 graphics card is the best-performing 3D card in its price class. For $179, it will let you play most current 3D games at reasonable resolutions and detail settings, ...
ProsFastest 3D card under $200 ; solid home-theater capabilities ; supports multiple card configurations with up to four cards in the same PC
ConsCrossFire performance remains sketchy depending on the game ; despite DirectX 10 support, actually switching those features on remains too challenging ; newer, potentially faster Nvidia cards in the same price range are supposedly just around the corner
VerdictDespite the usual caveats of an ever-fluctuating 3D market, for the moment, at least, ATI's new Radeon HD 3850 graphics card delivers the best bang-for-the buck in PC graphics hardware. Until now we haven't had an acceptable sub-$200 option for PC ...
