We got our hands on the brand new ASUS Radeon HD 3850 X2 1GB card today and
decided a quick preview was in order. That's right, this is a dual-GPU card
around the HD 3850 speeds, not the HD 3870 and that means a lower price
point.

Quote: "The estimated price on the ASUS EAH3850 X2 1GB card is $349 and it
should be available starting sometime next week. That price tag places the
card between the HD 3870 single-GPU cards (some of which have come out with
1GB of memory as well) and the dual-GPU HD 3870 X2s. This is indeed an area
that AMD needs to address as they have no other GPU options for gamers in
the $250-$350 range. Hopefully we'll see the the HD 3850 X2 1GB models from
more vendors causing a price drop closer to $300."
