Introduction

Atomic HD 3870 X2 is a limited edition water-cooled video card from Sapphire. In this review we will take an in-depth look at this card and compare its performance to the performance of its main competitors today like GeForce 9800 GX2 and GeForce 9800 GTX and also to the standard Radeon HD 3870. Read on.

Being a special edition, Atomic HD 3870 X2 comes in a fancy metallic suitcase, as you can see in Figure 1. Inside the suitcase the video card and its water cooling system are surrounded by gray foam, just like gun cases in secret agent movies, see Figures 2 and 3.
